Wachusett Spinners Guild

Exploring all the facets of our fiber passion in Central Massachusetts . . . and beyond!


Guild members off to the NYS Sheep & Wool Festival 2008

Meeting Schedule

We gather the first and third weekends (generally, when holidays do not pose a conflict) of every month, usually one Saturday and one Sunday, from 1-4PM or later as desired. We meet at members' homes and are all skill levels. We often schedule informal fiber-related field trips in between. For further information, contact schafer99@gmail.com.

Wachusett County Fiber Map

What a fun project! We now have two versions of the self-guided tour map of fiber farms, businesses and learning centers located in Wachusett County/Central Massachusetts. One version is viewed through Google Maps. Another is now in PDF format for downloading and printing. As time and interest permits, we will update the map on an annual basis.
