At every meeting the Guild will have a Weavers Exchange sale, also known as the Yarn Table. Members can
bring yarn to sell, as well as any small weaving related items (shuttles, heddle hooks, etc.) and publications.
This is a good place to look for bargains or clear your supply closet of items no longer needed. The Guild
receives 25% of the proceeds of any sale.
