The Butler Spinners and Weavers Guild (Ohio) were well represented at the Maryland Sheep to Shawl contest this May. Of the eight teams competing, three were comprised of their members: Wool Fools (placing seventh), Butler Peddlers (placing fifth), and Three Wheels Shy of a Loom (placing second). Teams had sample shawls with them, and the auction of those created that day netted $750. The winnings were used to fund the group’s expenses of participating in the event—the cost of shearing, purchase of fleece, entry fees, transportation, and team accommodations.
