Welcome

The Wasatch Woolpack Handspinner’s Guild has been around since 1998. We get together monthly to spin, mentor other fiber artists, show off finished projects, and learn more about spinning and other fiber arts.

When the guild was initially established, the name chosen was based on the county of the first meeting, an article in that same year defining woolpack, and creating yarn by hand (A.K.A. hand spinning).

Wasatch Woolpack Handspinners History

In January 29, 1998, the first organizational meeting was held as a spinning Saturday at Shirley Marshall’s home and not long after (July 22, 1998) a guild was established with guild officer’s that were filled by volunteers that rotated each year. Since then the meetings have become more frequent and consistent over the years.

Today

We now meet once a month on the third Tuesday, as a publicly registered guild, at the West Jordan library 8030 S 1825 W, West Jordan, UT 84088, USA.

All are welcome to come join us at the library. You are welcome to come to our monthly meetings, though for the full experience become a member of the guild.

Bylaws

Since initial public founding of the guild, there were a few things that were required of the guild by law to follow and allow changes. This is known to the guild as the bylaws. Bylaws are established by the volunteering presidency of the guild and is put to a vote to allow changes to be made.

If you would like to review them, you are welcome to view them here.
