Pikes Peak Weavers Guild was established in 1959 by a community of weavers in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Nestled in the shadows of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, PPWG members are never lacking in inspiration for color, texture, and design.
PPWG encourages our friends in the weaving, spinning and dyeing community to enjoy our online newsletter. While current issues are reserved for PPWG members, past issues are available to the public in our online reading area.
PPWG hosts an excellent weaving software program created by Bengt Nelson: WeaveDesign. Because of Mr. Nelson's generosity, it may be downloaded free of charge, using the link above. Thanks, Bengt!
PPWG was honored to host the 2016 Colorado Weavers Day, a biennial conference for weavers, spinners, and dyers. Thank you to the speakers, organizers, and attendees for making the event a great success.
