Swatch Swap Group
​The Swatch Swap Group is made up of weavers who select a weave structure and then each person weaves a swatch of this structure for each of the members. This group contains beginners through advanced weavers. This is a learning group and each person determines the degree of difficulty for their swatches. Contact Ruth Ronan at [email protected] or (505) 268-0726 for more detailed information or if you are interested in joining the group.
