Hey look, a loom in The Loft! Have you seen the spinning wheels too? You're going to hear those words frequently this fall as the Tzouhalem Spinners & Weavers Guild takes over The Loft Art Gallery in the Mill Bay Shopping Centre for its annual Weavers Sale.

From October 31 to December 3, the Duncan-based group will be selling handwoven scarves, blankets, tea towels, table runners, bags, hand knit toques and slippers, Kumihimo braiding kits, and other original pieces in the gallery space above Valley Vines to Wines. Shoppers wanting that extra special Christmas gift should definitely add this Weavers Sale, with its many 'one-of' creations, to their 'must do' list! The official opening takes place on Saturday, October 31, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Members of the Guild, as artists-in-residence at The Loft Gallery during the Weavers Sale, will take turns being in attendance so any visitors keen to try the on-site loom can be sure of a helping hand.

More than looms will be in action in the Gallery on the four Saturdays in November. Spinners, braiders, basket makers and felters will be sharing tips during demonstrations of these crafts on November 7, 14, 21 and 28.

The Weavers Sale in The Loft Gallery will be open during the business hours of Valley Vines to Wines: Monday to Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For more details on the Sale, please contact Alison Irwin at (250) 746-6330 or Els van Dam at (250) 743-0851.
