A Fibre Guild meeting was held at Rowany Festival, hosted by Fru Ragnhildr. There was an absolute feast for the eyes from this meeting, and I wish so much that I could have been there to see all the wonderful things our members have made! In no particular order, we have the following images from the show and tell:
A handwoven pillbox hat, by Elrod of Rowany.
Woven in broken diamond twill using Bendigo Classic 2 ply.
A handwoven Skjoldehamn hood by Ruffin from Rowany.

The striped hat (foreground) is a Gotland hat.
The white hat (centre) is in wool, Saint Simeon (11th century).
The blue hat (left) is Gotland, nalbind (2+2 F2). The wool is hand dyed with woad, too.
The mitts (top) are Finnish 2+2F2 with striped wrists 2+2F1 as per extant finds.
