THE ABERGELE GUILD OF WEAVERS SPINNERS & DYERS

The Abergele Guild was founded in 1985 and is affiliated to the National Association of Guilds of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers. We are interested in all things to do with textile crafts- but mainly, of course, handspinning, and we meet on Wednesdays in the Community Centre in the picturesque village of LlanfairTalhaearn, LL22 8RT (also spelt "Talhaiarn", and known as "LlanfairTH") .
We welcome visitors and new members, and are always pleased to help beginners. Contact us at abergelewsd@gmail.com (not a live link - please copy & paste)
