For weavers, knitters and everyone

April 7, 2020 By Carolyn Foss

Attention weavers! A limited production run of Sievers Horizontal Treadle Minders just made their way from the woodworking shop to the office. The treadle minder comes with screws for attaching it to your loom, 10 shot cards and “minder peg”. Cost? $24.00. Sales tax and US Mail shipping is extra. If you are interested in ordering, please use our website Contact Page where you can let us know your order in the Message box and enter your credit card number. https://sieversschool.com/contact/

Or call! We’d love to hear your voice. 920-847-2264.

We looked back to see when these were first offered. It was a mere 39 years ago, in 1981. This is just another one of Walter Schutz’s ideas come to fruition. He referred to them as “deconfusers” saying “the peg does all the work for you.”

Attention knitters! The Shetland Wool Week 2020 website (see below) has posted a free hat pattern, Katie’s Kep. They’ve included four colorway suggestions, one using Jamieson & Smith 2-ply, the other three using other Shetland wool brands. However, we have approximated colors, as close as we can, to our stock of J&S. Note: Colors can be slightly misrepresented in online photos.

If you’d like a little Fair Isle in your knitting queue, we’d be happy to send you the yarn. A total of six balls is $29.70. US Mail shipping and sales tax (for Wisconsin residents) is extra. Again, please use our website Contact Page where you can let us know your order in the Message box and enter your credit card number. https://sieversschool.com/contact/ Or call! We’d love to hear your voice. 920-847-2264. Here are the four choices:

Sold out!

Left to right, Color 3-Twilight at People’s Park –Color 4-Stavkirke Garden

The free pattern, Katie’s Kep, can be found and downloaded at https://www.shetlandwoolweek.com/free-knitting-pattern/ .

Although you can see a bit of lingering ice or snow here and there, for the most part there are whispers of spring all around us, including clear, blue waters like these. For that and many things, including our friendship with you, we are very grateful!
