Arachne Spinners Guild of Door County!
Arachne Spinners is much more than a guild only for spinners! Although our focus is on spinning, our topics include knitting, dyeing, felting, weaving, needlework and other fiber arts. Some of our members raise animals for fleeces and some guild members complete the entire process from lambing to creating the skeins that they sell in their own stores on their farms. Others are beginners interested in learning new skills. It’s a diverse group with unending knowledge and creativity.
