Members of the Tzouhalem Spinners & Weavers Guild have been sharing their passion for fibre since 1973. In its early days, the group met in the homes of members. The guild quickly grew its membership and needed to move into larger quarters. At one time the basement of City Hall was home and the few books in the guild library could be carried in a suitcase! Now the Tzouhalem Spinners & Weavers Guild has their general meetings twice a month in St. Peter’s Church Hall, 5800 Church Road in Duncan B.C. We now need space for our large collection of reference materials and the looms, wheels, carders, warping mills and other equipment available for members to borrow.
