      <title>Wednesday Night Stitch Circle (14 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IntGroup%20Wed%20Night.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="400" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cohosts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Judi Jetson &amp;amp; Mary Euler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Natural Dye Interest Group (18 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/JT%20yarn.jpg" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="284" align="left"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/nat%20dye%20group%2007-21%20copy.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;We have completed a whole year in our Natural Dye Study Group calendar so it's time to do some fiber prep for the upcoming year. So for this month's study group we will be scouring and mordanting all the fiber we will use for our upcoming meetings. We will have the fiber and mordants you just need to show up and lend a hand. This is also a good time to learn or refresh your knowledge about fiber prep.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a small reward for pitching in we will make a dye pot using weld, the queen of yellows, for everyone to use to dye a SMALL piece of fiber. One small scarf or bandana, mini skein of yarn or small piece of fabric per person is doable. &lt;strong&gt;Whatever you bring to dye must be pre scoured and mordanted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will also set the agenda for the upcoming months.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hope to see you&lt;/p&gt;

We welcome anyone from the professional spinner to those who are just beginning - all share a love of learning.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supplies:&lt;/strong&gt; Participants must bring their own spinning wheels and fiber. Some fiber may be available to share but is not guaranteed at each meeting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt; This is not a group for beginners to learn how to spin. All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of spinning is required.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Lato"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week?

      <title>Wednesday Night Stitch Circle (28 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IntGroup%20Wed%20Night.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="400" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cohosts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Judi Jetson &amp;amp; Mary Euler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Local Cloth&lt;/strong&gt; is a free, structured virtual gathering designed to give you a real look at what Local Cloth is, what we do, and how you might fit in. &lt;strong&gt;Each monthly session covers the same content&lt;/strong&gt; — so just pick the date that works best for you, register once, and come ready with questions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We'll walk through our programs, events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and resources — and share the different pathways to getting involved, whether you're looking for a one-time experience, a short-term project, or a longer-term commitment. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Fleece to Fiber (30 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_2337%20-%20Kirsten%20Bonanza.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Start where it actually begins — with freshly shorn (dirty) wool.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In **Fleece to Fiber**, we begin with raw, unwashed fleece and walk step-by-step through the transformation into usable yarn. This is a hands-on, practical class designed to build real confidence working with wool in its natural state.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You won’t just hear about the process — you’ll do it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We Begin With Cleaning&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each participant will receive**raw, unwashed wool** to practice&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Cleaning&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Washing/scouring techniques that clean without felting&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Proper temperature control and handling&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Drying methods&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Spinning in the Grease&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Before everything is perfectly washed and fluffy, we’ll briefly explore **spinning in the grease**: This gives you a real understanding of fiber behavior at different stages.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carding Clean Wool&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You will also receive **cleaned wool** to practice:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Opening and fluffing fiber aka picking &amp;amp; flicking&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Combing &amp;amp; Hand carding&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You’ll feel the difference between raw, washed, and fully prepared fiber — which is the key to discovering what kind of yarn you want to create.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Fiber to Usable Product&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ll finish by drafting and spinning prepared fiber into yarn using:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Drop spindle (great for beginners)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Spinning wheel (bring your own)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You’ll Leave With&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Hands-on experience cleaning raw fleece&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Practice spinning both in the grease and from fiber you prepare&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Carded wool ready for spinning&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Confidence to process those fleeces you've been eyeing on your own&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No prior experience required. All materials provided.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is something deeply satisfying about working from fleece to finished fiber. Once you understand the whole process, you’ll never look at yarn the same way again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt; Beginner&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Working with Gouache for Design and Painting (31 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_2939%20-%20camille%20daunno.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="426" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Discover the beauty and versatility of gouache as you create 3 finished works of art from concept to completion. In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to work with gouache in 3 different ways. Use it for design projects, use it like watercolor or use it straight from the tube to create an acrylic like painting. You will learn how to design a balanced composition, mix vibrant colors, and apply gouache using both transparent washes and rich, opaque layers. Through step-by-step instruction, you'll explore techniques for creating texture, depth, highlights, and fine details while developing your own artistic style. Whether you're new to gouache or looking to refine your skills, you'll gain the confidence to express your creativity and complete works you'll be proud to display or create your own portfolio. It’s easy to work with as well as very versatile. No experience necessary. Have some fun and challenge your creativity.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Sashiko With Beads: Embellishing Traditional Designs (31 October 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_3596%20-%20Gail%20Clement.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="450" height="450" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Take your sashiko stitching in a decorative, contemporary direction in this beyond-the-basics workshop. Beaded sashiko is a modern craft trend that replaces or accents traditional running stitches with Toho bugle beads, crafted for beauty and resilience in the historic city of Hiroshima. The 6 hour class (including 30 minute lunch break) begins with a brief sashiko refresher before moving into the techniques used to incorporate beads into geometric stitching patterns. Participants are expected to be comfortable following a grid-based Sashiko pattern (Hitomezashi). We will explore bead placement, thread and needle selection, secure stitching methods, and ways to adapt traditional Hitomezashi structures for contemporary textile work. Participants will craft three beaded sashiko items: a quilt square or embellished patch, a beaded brooch, and an amulet. These projects will provide experience working with different formats, finishing techniques, and possible applications for beaded sashiko on garments, accessories, quilts, and textile art.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

The hook size will be determined by the yarn you choose. Typically, a worsted weight yarn will need a size 5.5 to 6mm hook. If you want to hold a couple of yarns together consider an 8mm hook. The goal is to have a good firm fabric so the basket will stand up. If you don’t have a stash, mention it to friends, aunties, neighbors and you will be amazed at what people will give you simply to reduce their stash. If not, buy some inexpensive yarn of various colors.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cohosts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Judi Jetson &amp;amp; Mary Euler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

If you have taken Betty's Beginning Tapestry weaving class you should have these skills. In this 3 day class we will review the above techniques as well as adding some new ones as you weave a small cartoon of your own design. Day 1 will be spent refining your image into a weaveable cartoon. Please bring any photos, sketches, or paintings you have and want to weave. This is not a design class, please have your design ideas worked out prior to class. You will warp your loom and start weaving once the cartoon is finalized. Day 2 and 3 you will weave your image. We will discuss finishing and ways to present your piece after cutting your piece off the loom on day 3.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Mindful Bookmaking: Slow Making as a Form of Resistance (10 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/accordion%20book%20-%20Joyce%20Tromba.JPG" alt="" title="" border="1" style="border-color: rgb(31, 31, 31); margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;" width="550" height="426"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;Join us for a special day of bookmaking and reflection on the making process. We will be making an easy but versatile book structure called an accordion or leporello. This is a very simple book to make that does not require sewing but it is very easy to adapt and the fun is putting together the contents of the book. Unlike a traditional book, the accordion pages can be opened out which allows the viewer to see the contents in a continuous way, creating a visual story. It can also be “read” like a traditional book, turning the pages one by one.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;We will learn the basic structure of the book and the contents will be up to each person. You can fill your book with anything that is two dimensional: photographs, collage, drawing, painting, doodles, writing, fabric, embroidery…the possibilities are endless.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Along with learning how to make this book, there will be a portion of the class dedicated to sharing about the making experience. As part of her Masters thesis about the experiences of book binding students as we learn and create in community. Rachel will be leading us in a reflection at the end of the workshop. This optional reflection process will be geared toward identifying how the slow process of creating books by hand might be a way to resist the pressure of a world that is increasingly fast-paced, digital, and often more focused on quantity and profit than quality and meaning. Rachel will lead the group in a discussion which explores the meanings that develop through the objects created in group making processes to support her research.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;em style=""&gt;Please note that no photographs will be taken, and you can opt out of the reflection or any portion of the workshop at any time.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials students should bring:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Any scrap yarn you have could be used in this project. The hook size will be determined by the yarn you choose. Typically, a worsted weight yarn will need a size 5.5 to 6mm hook. If you want to hold a couple of yarns together consider an 8mm hook. The goal is to have a good firm fabric so the basket will stand up. If you don’t have a stash, mention it to friends, aunties, neighbors and you will be amazed at what people will give you simply to reduce their stash.

      <title>Wednesday Night Stitch Circle (11 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IntGroup%20Wed%20Night.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="400" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cohosts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Judi Jetson &amp;amp; Mary Euler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Needle Felt an "Ugly" Christmas Sweater (12 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_0713%20-%20Emma%20Du%20Bois.JPG" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="667" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(6, 38, 52);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;Make your own ugly Christmas sweater with felting! Using wool roving and barbed needles, you’ll be creating your own festive masterpiece on a knit sweater to wear to your next holiday party. This technique can also be used to repair holes or cover stains, and bring life to an old sweater!&amp;nbsp;If you bring your own sweater, make sure it’s knit and preferably not too thin. Very thin sweaters (think closer to t-shirt material) may develop holes or felted on.&amp;nbsp;If you don't have a sweater, you can felt on a scarf, pants, anything you'd like a Christmas tree on!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Intergenerational Stitch Circle: Kids and Adults Crafting Together (12 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Intergenerational%20Stitch%20Circle%20Interest%20Group.png" alt="" title="" border="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(6, 38, 52);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intergenerational Stitch Circle: Kids and Adults Crafting Together&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Mix it up! Join a group where there’s no age expectations. Children will be accompanied by attentive parents. Adults are invited to join without children. Knit, crochet, sew, felt, weave, needle punch, mend, plan new projects…. Come sit in community while crafting whatever your little heart desires. Connect and make friends no matter your age.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials to bring&lt;/strong&gt;: a project for yourself or a project to share. All supplies and materials must be taken home with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level needed:&lt;/strong&gt; this is not a class. You are working at your own pace and at your own level. Skill sharing is encouraged.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name of host(s):&lt;/strong&gt; Amber &amp;amp; Mia H.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;*Important notes!: The Local Cloth building has an open floor plan which houses a retail space, resident artist spaces and a dye studio. Children must be able to stay with the crafting group when asked to do so. You know your child. If they want to run, climb, jump, touch and they are not at a stage of listening well, please wait to join the group until they are in this ‘siting while crafting’ phase. If you and your child would love to craft in community but, your child’s attention span is shorter then you were hoping, please encourage your child to help you pack up so you can leave on your child’s schedule. Please ask for help if you need it. That’s what community is for &lt;img data-emoji="" alt=" " src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f495/32.png"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Dabbling in Acid Dyes: Two Skeins, Two Techniques (13 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/PXL_20260823_115709037%20-%20Lisa%20Sandberg.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="532" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(31, 31, 31);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Curious about dyeing your own yarn? Dabbling in Acid Dyes is a playful, hands-on introduction to using acid dyes on wool yarn.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Students will explore the basic principles of acid dyeing, including safe dye handling, preparing yarn, working with color, applying heat and acid, and properly finishing hand-dyed yarn.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Working with two full 100-gram skeins, students will create two distinctly different colorways: one multicolor skein and one dimensional solid. Along the way, we’ll explore intentional color placement, how colors interact, and techniques for creating depth and variation rather than perfectly uniform color.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Students will leave with 200 grams of their own hand-dyed yarn, two approachable dyeing techniques, and the foundational knowledge to continue experimenting with acid dyes at home.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;No previous dyeing experience is necessary. Come ready to experiment, get a little colorful, and see what happens when yarn meets dye!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent; margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Asheville Art Museum: Private Tour of Warp, Weft, and the Grid (13 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#575757" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Local%20Cloth%20Field%20Trip%20Graphic.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="400" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(87, 87, 87);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#575757" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join us for a special opportunity to have a guided tour of Warp, Weft, and the Grid exhibit at the Asheville Art Museum.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#575757" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We will join Julie Caro, Head of Learning and Engagement at the Museum, for a private tour &amp;amp; a glass of prosecco on their rooftop patio to discuss the exhibit.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#575757" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From the Asheville Art Museum website:&lt;/strong&gt; "&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: Lato;"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444"&gt;Warp, Weft, and the Grid&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;highlights the artistic significance of 19th and early 20th-century southern Appalachian coverlets, exploring how the designs of these handwoven textiles anticipated many of the same visually arresting motifs at the heart of Modernist geometric abstraction in later 20th century art. The exhibition displays historic coverlets alongside works ranging from the color theory experiments and avant-garde weavings of Josef&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#444444" style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;and Anni Albers to Julian Stanczak’s dynamic optical illusions, and even early computer-based art, emphasizing their shared visual language. It offers new perspectives on women’s artistic labor as well as the material history and experimental ethos of weavers in the region, foregrounding the remarkable artistic and technical merit of the artists who made them.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Lato"&gt;"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Read more about the exhibit&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.ashevilleart.org/exhibitions/warp-weft-the-grid/" target="_blank"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: If you are a member of the Asheville Art Museum, you qualify for a discounted ticket of $12. Please email programs@localcloth.org with proof of museum membership to receive this discount.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Knit Design 102: Winter Solstice Warmth (14 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Original.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="647" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;This is another "knitters' choice class" in the Knit Design series wherein students explore the infinity of knitted-stitch patterns that the basic knit and purl stitches can yield and their design value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The series concept is to help knitters think like designers while also further developing creative and analytical knitting skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The two-fold objective of this workshop course is to (1) introduce students to several categories of knit stitches and provide written instructions for at least one example of each category including, for example, cable, decorative ribbing and "double yarnover" lace-effect stitches to incorporate in their project(s).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The (2) co-objective is for students to then decide on, and knit, leg-, arm- or wrist-warmers using whichever combination and order of stitch motifs they select, in chosen porportionate amounts, for an integrated project.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;[The instructor's personal third objective is to provide a fun learning experience that also provides students with patterns for simple hand-knitted projects that do not require a lot of yarn, or time, to make and in time for holiday gift-giving.]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The instructor will provide written pattern stitch and pattern template instructions for the resulting project(s).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;All written instructions are written for both (1) knitting "back and forth" on straight needles (aka knitting in rows) and (2) knitting "in the round" on double-pointed or circular needes, including the magic loop method, so students can work with either.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Intermediate/Advanced Beginner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;All knitters who can comfortably knit, purl, and work combinations thereof, as in a ribbing stitch, are welcome - as are students with different knitting "technique" preferences, whether American, British or Continental.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Catherine Wingate (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: Lato;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://localcloth.org/instructors" target="_blank"&gt;Read Catherine's bio&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members:&lt;/strong&gt; $220&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non members:&lt;/strong&gt; $264&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials fee:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;$5 paid via cash (&lt;em&gt;to be collected day of workshop&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials Provided:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;The instructor will provide handouts to support learning of the different stitches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials students should bring:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Students should bring an adequate amount of sportweight yarn for instruction simplicity but DK and worsted weight yarns can be used if preferred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;For informational purposes, or for those wanting a similar result, the light blue armwarmer shown in the attached photograph uses Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes sport yarn in Wonderland Heather.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The manufacturer lists the gauge for this yarn as 6 sts = 1" on #3 - 5 needles (3.25mm-3.75mm). A 50 gram skein yields 137 yards and the armwarmer in the photograph used approximately 3.3 skeins.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;It was knitted on size #4 needles and knitted in-the-round to yield a denser and warmer stitch than might be otherwise be used for a different garment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;[The yarn was used because it has been a favorite with students as affordable and readily available in a variety of colors. The instructor has no affiliation with Knit Picks beyond frequent buyer.]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;Note: Students will have differing yardage needs depending upon the project(s) they choose to make.&amp;nbsp; However if, for instance, one wants to knit a pair of legwarmers, of a known length and circumference, online resources and some yarn store personnel can advise on adequate yardage needs if the knitter provides the gauge achieved with that yarn. As always, having more than enough yarn is always advisable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;And, again as always, having more than enough yarn is always advisable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font&gt;Registered and prospective students are&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;welcome&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;contact&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;instructor for&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;further&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;information&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;at&lt;/font&gt; &lt;a href="mailto:clkngo@aol.com" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;clkngo@aol.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week?

      <title>Sashiko &amp; Boro Interest Group (20 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Poster.png" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="600" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Sashiko&amp;nbsp;and Boro Interest Group at Local Cloth Fiber Studio in Asheville offers a welcoming space for fiber enthusiasts to explore and celebrate the rich traditions of Japanese hand-stitching. Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices.&amp;nbsp;Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants:&lt;/strong&gt; Please&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;bring whatever project/s you are working on, any finished projects for show and tell as well as yarn acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Knit Design 102: Winter Solstice Warmth (21 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Original.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="647" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;This is another "knitters' choice class" in the Knit Design series wherein students explore the infinity of knitted-stitch patterns that the basic knit and purl stitches can yield and their design value.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The series concept is to help knitters think like designers while also further developing creative and analytical knitting skills.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The two-fold objective of this workshop course is to (1) introduce students to several categories of knit stitches and provide written instructions for at least one example of each category including, for example, cable, decorative ribbing and "double yarnover" lace-effect stitches to incorporate in their project(s).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The (2) co-objective is for students to then decide on, and knit, leg-, arm- or wrist-warmers using whichever combination and order of stitch motifs they select, in chosen porportionate amounts, for an integrated project.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;[The instructor's personal third objective is to provide a fun learning experience that also provides students with patterns for simple hand-knitted projects that do not require a lot of yarn, or time, to make and in time for holiday gift-giving.]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The instructor will provide written pattern stitch and pattern template instructions for the resulting project(s).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;All written instructions are written for both (1) knitting "back and forth" on straight needles (aka knitting in rows) and (2) knitting "in the round" on double-pointed or circular needes, including the magic loop method, so students can work with either.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Level:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Intermediate/Advanced Beginner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;All knitters who can comfortably knit, purl, and work combinations thereof, as in a ribbing stitch, are welcome - as are students with different knitting "technique" preferences, whether American, British or Continental.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Instructor:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Catherine Wingate (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: Lato;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://localcloth.org/instructors" target="_blank"&gt;Read Catherine's bio&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members:&lt;/strong&gt; $220&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non members:&lt;/strong&gt; $264&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials fee:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;$5 paid via cash (&lt;em&gt;to be collected day of workshop&lt;/em&gt;)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials Provided:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font&gt;The instructor will provide handouts to support learning of the different stitches.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials students should bring:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Students should bring an adequate amount of sportweight yarn for instruction simplicity but DK and worsted weight yarns can be used if preferred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;For informational purposes, or for those wanting a similar result, the light blue armwarmer shown in the attached photograph uses Knit Picks' Wool of the Andes sport yarn in Wonderland Heather.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;The manufacturer lists the gauge for this yarn as 6 sts = 1" on #3 - 5 needles (3.25mm-3.75mm). A 50 gram skein yields 137 yards and the armwarmer in the photograph used approximately 3.3 skeins.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;It was knitted on size #4 needles and knitted in-the-round to yield a denser and warmer stitch than might be otherwise be used for a different garment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;[The yarn was used because it has been a favorite with students as affordable and readily available in a variety of colors. The instructor has no affiliation with Knit Picks beyond frequent buyer.]&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;Note: Students will have differing yardage needs depending upon the project(s) they choose to make.&amp;nbsp; However if, for instance, one wants to knit a pair of legwarmers, of a known length and circumference, online resources and some yarn store personnel can advise on adequate yardage needs if the knitter provides the gauge achieved with that yarn. As always, having more than enough yarn is always advisable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;And, again as always, having more than enough yarn is always advisable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;br&gt;

      <title>It's the Small Things that Matter (22 November 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/small%20things%20class%20-%20Joyce%20Tromba.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="683" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(31, 31, 31);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#202124"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;In this class we will use traditional bookmaking techniques to make a collection of small books. These books are diminutive but still function like their larger sisters. Aside from their traditional use you can also use them as jewelry, quick creative projects, accent pieces and perfect small gifts for the winter holidays or to create a library of various book binding techniques. We will use these techniques: simple pamphlet, origami, soft cover multi-signature and Japanese Stab binding.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Thinking about joining Local Cloth? Just joined and still figuring out what's what? A longtime member who wants to plug in more deeply? This is for you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Local Cloth&lt;/strong&gt; is a free, structured virtual gathering designed to give you a real look at what Local Cloth is, what we do, and how you might fit in. &lt;strong&gt;Each monthly session covers the same content&lt;/strong&gt; — so just pick the date that works best for you, register once, and come ready with questions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We'll walk through our programs, events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and resources — and share the different pathways to getting involved, whether you're looking for a one-time experience, a short-term project, or a longer-term commitment. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You get to meet Local Cloth. We get to meet you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Free&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non members:&lt;/strong&gt; $5&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials supplied by participants&lt;/strong&gt;: Please bring whatever project/s you are working on, items for show and tell as well as yarn or fiber-y acquisitions and new project ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span&gt;Bring your own supper or snack.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;This is a free event for members, but please sign up so we know how many to expect.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cohosts:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Judi Jetson &amp;amp; Mary Euler&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Knitting Sweaters that Fit Perfectly (05 December 2026)</title>

We'll start by exploring what makes a "perfectly fitting" sweater for you personally. Then, we'll discuss ways to find knitting patterns that meet your criteria. Finally, we'll go over how to modify patterns to improve the fit further for your body and personal preferences. Participants are encouraged to bring 3-5 handmade or store bought garments that they like the fit of for reference, as well as a tape measure for garment and body measurements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;All skill levels are welcome, but some basic knowledge of fiber arts is encouraged.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Intergenerational Stitch Circle: Kids and Adults Crafting Together (10 December 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Intergenerational%20Stitch%20Circle%20Interest%20Group.png" alt="" title="" border="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(6, 38, 52);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Intergenerational Stitch Circle: Kids and Adults Crafting Together&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Mix it up! Join a group where there’s no age expectations. Children will be accompanied by attentive parents. Adults are invited to join without children. Knit, crochet, sew, felt, weave, needle punch, mend, plan new projects…. Come sit in community while crafting whatever your little heart desires. Connect and make friends no matter your age.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Free&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" color="#1F272B"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non members:&lt;/strong&gt; $5&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Materials to bring&lt;/strong&gt;: a project for yourself or a project to share. All supplies and materials must be taken home with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Skill level needed:&lt;/strong&gt; this is not a class. You are working at your own pace and at your own level. Skill sharing is encouraged.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name of host(s):&lt;/strong&gt; Amber &amp;amp; Mia H.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;*Important notes!: The Local Cloth building has an open floor plan which houses a retail space, resident artist spaces and a dye studio. Children must be able to stay with the crafting group when asked to do so. You know your child. If they want to run, climb, jump, touch and they are not at a stage of listening well, please wait to join the group until they are in this ‘sitting while crafting’ phase. If you and your child would love to craft in community but, your child’s attention span is shorter then you were hoping, please encourage your child to help you pack up so you can leave on your child’s schedule. Please ask for help if you need it. That’s what community is for &lt;img data-emoji="" alt=" " src="https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/e/notoemoji/17.0/1f495/32.png"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Exploring E-Spinning: Morning Section (12 December 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/PXL_20260707_104126268%20-%20Lisa%20Sandberg.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="450" height="598" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(6, 38, 52);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Curious about electric spinning wheels but not sure where to begin? Exploring E-Spinning offers a hands-on introduction to e-spinning in a relaxed, supportive setting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Students will learn the basic mechanics of electric spinning, explore how e-spinners differ from traditional treadle wheels, and gain practical experience with several different machines. Each student will have an e-spinner to work with and will rotate among the available models, allowing plenty of time to experience differences in controls, tension systems, ergonomics, and overall spinning style.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;We’ll cover basic setup and operation, fiber preparation, drafting, adjusting speed and take-up, and troubleshooting common beginner challenges. No previous spinning experience is required.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;This workshop is ideal for anyone curious about e-spinning, interested in adding an electric spinner to their fiber practice, or simply wanting the opportunity to try several machines before investing in one of their own.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Exploring E-Spinning: Afternoon Section (12 December 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/PXL_20260707_104126268%20-%20Lisa%20Sandberg.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="450" height="598" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(6, 38, 52);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Curious about electric spinning wheels but not sure where to begin? Exploring E-Spinning offers a hands-on introduction to e-spinning in a relaxed, supportive setting.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Students will learn the basic mechanics of electric spinning, explore how e-spinners differ from traditional treadle wheels, and gain practical experience with several different machines. Each student will have an e-spinner to work with and will rotate among the available models, allowing plenty of time to experience differences in controls, tension systems, ergonomics, and overall spinning style.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;We’ll cover basic setup and operation, fiber preparation, drafting, adjusting speed and take-up, and troubleshooting common beginner challenges. No previous spinning experience is required.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;This workshop is ideal for anyone curious about e-spinning, interested in adding an electric spinner to their fiber practice, or simply wanting the opportunity to try several machines before investing in one of their own.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Sashiko&amp;nbsp;and Boro Interest Group at Local Cloth Fiber Studio in Asheville offers a welcoming space for fiber enthusiasts to explore and celebrate the rich traditions of Japanese hand-stitching. Each monthly gathering will provide opportunities to refresh foundational techniques, participate in stitchalong projects, and discover the artistry behind&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;and boro through profiles of notable makers and exhibits. Whether you are new to these practices or a seasoned stitcher, the group will foster skill-building, creativity, and appreciation for the cultural heritage woven into every stitch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Ubuntu"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  Beyond technique, the group will highlight current trends and innovations in the&amp;nbsp;sashiko&amp;nbsp;world, from new tools and products to contemporary interpretations of traditional practices.&amp;nbsp;Members will enjoy lively discussions, hands-on exploration, and a supportive community that values both the meditative process and the expressive potential of rhythmic stitching. Together, we’ll cultivate inspiration, share resources, and deepen our connection to this timeless craft in a collaborative and engaging environment.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Precision in Sashiko: Corners, Curves, and Intersections (19 December 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_5229%20-%20Gail%20Clement.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="400" height="618" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(31, 31, 31);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;Designed for stitchers who have mastered basic sashiko, this six-hour workshop focuses on the small decisions that give complex patterns a polished, intentional appearance. Through demonstrations and guided practice, participants will learn how to plan stitch placement and maintain rhythm when approaching sharp turns, 90-degree corners, tight curves, intersections, and T-junctions. We will explore strategies for avoiding crowded corners, overlapping stitches, awkward gaps, and heavy-looking intersections while preserving the characteristic balance of stitched and unstitched space.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;Participants will apply these techniques in two focused exercises. First, they will stitch *tsuzuki yamagata* (continuous mountain peaks), using its angular, connected lines to practice sharp turns, corners, and orderly intersections. A second exercise featuring *seigaiha* (overlapping ocean waves) will develop control around tight, repeated curves and closely spaced meeting points. Along the way, students will practice reading the path of a pattern, deciding where stitches should begin and end, and making adjustments without disrupting the overall design. Participants should arrive comfortable with basic sashiko tools, running stitch, and stitching from a marked pattern.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="font-family: Lato; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;Level:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Intermediate&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#222222" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;After a long day at work, how about a little creative time with friends mid-week? This is not a class - you should know how to stitch, crochet, knit, or practice your favorite fiber craft but we suspect you will learn something along the way. We have experienced fiber enthusiasts in our group, so you can count on getting and giving some advice.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Meet Local Cloth (23 December 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Meet%20Local%20Cloth%20image.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Local Cloth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Virtual | 4th Wednesday of every month | 6:00–7:00 PM&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Thinking about joining Local Cloth? Just joined and still figuring out what's what? A longtime member who wants to plug in more deeply? This is for you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Local Cloth&lt;/strong&gt; is a free, structured virtual gathering designed to give you a real look at what Local Cloth is, what we do, and how you might fit in. &lt;strong&gt;Each monthly session covers the same content&lt;/strong&gt; — so just pick the date that works best for you, register once, and come ready with questions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We'll walk through our programs, events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and resources — and share the different pathways to getting involved, whether you're looking for a one-time experience, a short-term project, or a longer-term commitment. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You get to meet Local Cloth. We get to meet you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Sessions are held on the 4th Wednesday of every month from 6:00–7:00 PM via Zoom. Free and open to all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 25px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/9_MGywD_Tm2JqYvWQKOU4g" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Click here to register via the zoom link.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Let's get together with your needles or hooks and make stuff. This is not a class- you should know something about your chosen craft but my suspicion is that you will learn something along the way. Knitters, needlefelters and crocheters are just like that.

      <title>Weaving Outside of the Box (09 January 2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#202124" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/IMG_5464%20-%20Kirsten%20Bonanza.jpeg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="500" height="426" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" style=""&gt;What if a loom didn’t have to look like a loom?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Weaving Outside of the Box&lt;/strong&gt; is an invitation to explore weaving beyond the rectangle—using branches, hoops, circles, found objects, and unexpected structures as the foundation for creating with fiber.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;We’ll experiment with &lt;strong&gt;branch weaving, circular weaving, and weaving on objects that were never intended to become looms&lt;/strong&gt;, discovering how shape, texture, tension, and material can change the way we approach the weaving process.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Rather than following one perfect pattern, this class is about curiosity and possibility. What can become a loom? What happens when the structure itself becomes part of the artwork? What fibers, natural materials, scraps, strings, sticks, or other treasures are asking to be included?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;You’ll learn simple techniques for creating and maintaining a workable warp on unusual forms, adding texture and dimension, and adapting basic weaving skills to whatever structure is in front of you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Come prepared to play, experiment, and look at the world around you a little differently.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;Because once you stop assuming a loom has to be square, &lt;strong&gt;almost anything can become a place to weave.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;This is an advanced beginner class. All that is required to attend is that you know the difference between a warp and weft and that the initial weave motion goes up and down.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here are two videos to watch:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Through both structured demonstrations and individual stitching guidance, beginners gain basic skills and knowledge to apply this practice to both functional and decorative goods. Participants will explore the historical and geographic origins of Sashiko and also gain hands on experience stitching with Japanese needles, threads, and palm thimbles. This class is a prerequisite to the other classes in the series. After three practices exercises designed to cover basic skills, participants will gain confidence by stitching a preprinted Sashiko textile project that can be finished at home.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

By the end of the class, you’ll have a finished trivet sized perfectly for your favorite mug (a cozy little coaster you actually get to use).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Comprehensive Natural Dye Series (22 January 2027)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/rainbow%20fabric.jpg" alt="" title="" border="1" width="283.5" height="186" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; border-color: rgb(6, 38, 52);"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;font color="#1F1F1F" face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Take a deep dive into Natural Dyeing on cellulose and protein fibers. Learn to successfully use natural dyes to produce clear, long lasting colors on a variety of fibers. You will learn the important steps of fiber preparation: scouring and mordanting that is so important in achieving good results with natural dyes. We will the extract our dyes from the raw plant materials, dye the fibers and finally explore post dye modification and over dyeing which extends the range of hues from our primary colors. We will make 12 different dye baths to get a rainbow of colors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;This series requires some knowledge of the chemistry of natural dyeing. If you are a beginner please take the Introduction to Natural Dyeing offered the week before this class. We will provide all the materials, dyes, adjuncts and equipment as well as a detailed handout.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://localcloth.org/resources/Pictures/Meet%20Local%20Cloth%20image.png" alt="" title="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Local Cloth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Virtual | 4th Wednesday of every month | 6:00–7:00 PM&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Thinking about joining Local Cloth? Just joined and still figuring out what's what? A longtime member who wants to plug in more deeply? This is for you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Meet Local Cloth&lt;/strong&gt; is a free, structured virtual gathering designed to give you a real look at what Local Cloth is, what we do, and how you might fit in. &lt;strong&gt;Each monthly session covers the same content&lt;/strong&gt; — so just pick the date that works best for you, register once, and come ready with questions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;We'll walk through our programs, events, workshops, volunteer opportunities, and resources — and share the different pathways to getting involved, whether you're looking for a one-time experience, a short-term project, or a longer-term commitment. There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;You get to meet Local Cloth. We get to meet you.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Lato" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Sessions are held on the 4th Wednesday of every month from 6:00–7:00 PM via Zoom. Free and open to all.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
