Challenges & Exchanges


During the year guild members participate in a variety of Challenges & Exchanges which are optional fun learning experiences for members.

Examples of challenges and exchanges that the guild members have participated in recently include:
  1. The Four Card Draw Challenge in which a member randomly draws 4 cards that represent a weave structure, a color way, a fiber content, and a finishing technique which they then must apply to a finished project.  This challenge encourages members to work outside their normal weaving choices.
  2. The Beast in a Bag Challenge in which members place unwanted yarn in a brown paper bag.  The bags are then exchanged and the the recipient of the bag must weave something with the contents of the bag to return to the owner of the yarn by the end of the challenge time period.  This challenge promotes some very interesting  and creative weaving!
  3. A Napkin Exchange in which every participant weaves 4 napkins and to exchange for 4 napkins woven by 4 different weavers.  Each year the item chosen to exchange is different.  For example, it could be towels, mug mats, placemats.



Upcoming Challenges & Exchanges in 2021-2022
Fiber Challenge 2021-2022 begins December 2021
 
Get ready!  For this year's Challenge we have a Covid-worthy system for finding out what your challenge will be.   Choose a special date (month and day) - and then check out what your challenge will be.  Each challenge will have an inspiration - based on the month you selected and a constraint based on the day you picked. 

You can create your challenge using weaving or any other fiber-related techniques.

To view the Inspirations and Constraints for the date you chose:
