We began more than 60 years ago in Topeka, Kansas, USA.
We are a group of people who enjoy working with fiber: exploring the possibilities and making wonderful objects of wool, cotton, angora, alpaca, silk….. Stuff to wear, stuff for gifts, stuff to sell…
Together members have hundreds of years of experience that they are eager and willing to share with others.
Minimal dues are charged on a yearly basis.
We offer two meetings most months on the third Saturday and third Tuesday of each month. Guild members and guests are welcome to attend either, or both, meetings depending upon their schedules. Our meetings are a chance to share what we are working on, ask questions of others, and continue to learn about the fiber arts.
Tuesday meetings are currently held at Old Prairie Town/Ward-Meade Park, 124 NW Fillmore St., Topeka, Kansas, while the Saturday meetings meet at varying locations. Meetings start at 10 am, last 2-4 hours, and are led by guild members. (schedule page)
Our brochure, in PDF format, is available here. You may download it, then print it, fill it out and mail it; or open it in a PDF reader, and fill it out, save it to your computer, then email it to topekahandweaversandspinners@gmail.com
I hope it all goes smoothly, I will miss being a part of it. Ruth Weidle

The conference was a huge success! As someone who attended the keynote, shopped at the vendor booths and attended one class, I was extremely impressed. The keynote speaker was amazing and the whole conference very well organized. Thanks to all you worked so hard to create such an inspiring an fun event!

I was hoping someone could help with the value and sale of my wife’s loom. It’s a Harrisville Hand Loom Model T 36″. She bought it in 1986 and we’ve tried to find the answers on the web but to no avail. It’s in great shape and to our knowledge is still is a great loom. If anyone could help us with this it we would greatly appreciated it. If necessary we could provide pictures. Thanks, Brad
