    Come and see us at Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows Country Fest 2026!

    Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th, the Albion Fairgrounds will be filled with livestock, produce, home arts, demonstrations, and fun activities showcasing the rich agricultural heritage of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. This year marks 125 years, so it will be an extra special event. You’ll find us out on the Fairgrounds itself this year, with our display and hands-on fibre experience. We have some beautifully fluffy and colourful wool for you to try your hand at carding and spinning yarn! We’ll be located next to the sheep shearing, so you’ll get to see where the wool comes from and how it becomes yarn. Come try it out; you…

    Fibre Heritage of The Coast Salish- by Whonnock Weavers and Spinners Guild

    The Whonnock Weavers and Spinners Guild had the opportunity to write an article about Salish weaving. At the time it was a popular trend; many guilds had learned to weave in the Salish style and created beautiful tapestries. The Whonnock Weavers had the fortune of having an anthropologist on the team and after a visit to the Salish Weavers in Yarrow, at the Coqualeetza Cultural Education Centre, the group wrote the article.  It was published in Weavers Journal Magazine Fall issue of 1984.
