We're Moving!

In an effort to update our guild website we are moving!

Please visit our new site at tnvalleyhandspinners.org.  You can find the library and equipment listings there now as well as our classifieds and wheel review section.

This old site will remain up for the time being but will eventually be set to automatically redirect to our new home.

Thanks, and happy spinning!

A Salute to Fred Gerber - 20th Anniversary

TVH members who attended this past January's Roc Day celebration may remember that Dale Liles gave a talk about Fred Gerber and brought up a Summer 1994 Spin-Off article she and her husband Jim co-wrote as a tribute to Fred after he passed away.

For those who aren't familiar with Fred, he was a TVH member who was regarded as a natural dyeing expert and had several pamphlets published on the subject. He is also the namesake of our Fred Gerber Memorial Spinning Wheel.

I've had an interest in adding information about Fred to our website after hearing Dale’s talk and wrote to Interweave requesting permission to reprint Dale’s article on our website hopeful we could secure it in time for the 20th anniversary of the tribute.

We are very happy to announce that we have been granted reprint permission by Interweave and been given Dale's thumbs up to share the article with our membership.
