Borrowing books and weaving and spinning equipment is a benefit of membership in the guild, for those who live in Travis County or a contiguous county. Members can check out books, periodicals and equipment to use, for free! Learn more about becoming a member.
Become a MemberWhat’s available?
The guild has books on weaving, spinning, dyeing yarn and fabric and other related subjects, covering both introductory topics and highly specific techniques to help you dive into a new process. Periodicals include full runs of Handwoven, Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot, Spin-off, Väv and Twist magazines. Borrowing equipment is a great way to try something out before you invest in one of your own, or that you may only use infrequently.
You are invited to explore our whole catalog to see what is available to our members. You do not need to login to see the list of items.
A note for members
Most of our print materials are located in the library cabinets at our Austin Recreational Center (ARC) meeting room. The WSSA Library at the ARC is open for browsing, checking out and returning books on the 4th Thursday of every month, during Meet-up Night. If you need something, but can’t get to meeting, contact our Librarian and we work out a time and place to get a book to you.
Borrowers must be current members of the Guild and live in Travis County or a contiguous county.
