The Philadelphia Guild of Handweavers and Fiber Artists http://www.pghw.org/ 3705 Main Street Philadelphia PA 19127, pghwinfo@gmail.com, 215-487-9690 / The Guild has a portable fibers group every Tuesday at the Guild House. We get together from 10am to 12 noon and those attending bring whatever project they can carry in. We have weaving, dyeing, spinning, knitting, crocheting, embroidery and any fiber work you can think of and is portable. We have a wonderful library and a Kuerig to boot. There is no agenda and it is a lot of fun. You do not need to be a member to come and there is plenty of free parking across the street.
