Classes/Events Studio Looms and Spinning Wheels

Kindred Threads is a weaving studio, a classroom for the fine arts, and a gathering place for artists of all levels of experience to practice their crafts and interact with others of similar interest.
The idea for Kindred Threads grew out of the experience of a group of spinners and knitters that has met for several years in the Viroqua area. It is the intention of Kindred Threads to extend the sense of support that nurtures and stimulates artistic creativity to the broader community, and to provide a place where people can come to learn and share ideas and knowledge.
Kindred Threads has recently redefined itself from a knitting shop to studio space for a group of
weavers and fiber inspired people. The retail portion of the shop will be open by chance or by appointment and will focus on displaying what we create; and the sale of Glimakra and Schacht looms, spinning wheels and weaving fibers.
Many of our same activities will continue. Our fiber guilds still meet Tuesday from 4:00-6:30 and Friday from 10:00-noon. All are welcome. We will continue to offer classes and encourage those who want to use our space as a classroom to give us a call.
Our studio includes a 54” Glimakra loom available to rent by the week or the month; a great way to try weaving, without a huge investment in money or space. Weaving instruction will be available also. Email info@kindredthreads.com for details.
Join us as we explore a world of color and texture through weaving and the fiber arts; hard to say where this path will lead us.
Kindred Threads is especially open to beginners in fiber and other fine
arts. Part of its vision is to be able to pass along the skills of
these timeless arts and crafts to new generations of artisans.
