Welcome to Northwest Regional Spinners' Association, serving spinners in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

As always, we promote and encourage awareness and skills in the craft of handspinning, providing a network for local guilds. Various opportunities exist to share, learn and keep the craft alive.

The fiberlinks page has been revised with more information on each member's business. The chronological order should make finding what you want easier.

A lot of activities and events are coming up. Check out the latest events for information. The Calendar page has a lot of new events listed. From spin-ins, workshops, and retreats to fairs, there's something for everyone this year.

And, as always, keep on spinnin'.

Our judges are now certifiable!
Thanks to the hard work of Karen Goodson and Marie Gettmann. NWRSA's Judges Training program is a comprehensive two-part program designed to train judges on a certain set of criteria for consistency. After completing both workshops and taking a test as well as judging several events including our Conference Gallery, AND passing a test, judges receive certification. This lends credibility to the profession.

There are now several certified judges in Western Washington. If you too are interested in getting your certification, please contact Karen or Marie for more information.
