Las Arañas Outreach

Las Arañas Demonstration Teams were really spinning their wheels during the 2016 Spring season!

They debuted at the ABQ Renais-sance Faire on April 30 where they received a royal welcome.

Next, they re-turned to the fa-miliar setting of Casa San Ysidro for Heritage Day on May 14.

They finished the season at the Rio Grande Valley Celtic Festival, May 21-22 with their traditional weav-ing of the Tartan, this year the Gunn pattern. In addi-tion to Celtic Knitting and their regular Celtic crafts, they added Bobbin Lace and Sprang to their fiber arts repertoire

Fiber Arts Fiesta 2017: May 19, 20, 21 Planning for this multi-guild event is ongo-ing but no new general announcements for the moment. Computer fine-tuning delayed the release of the Call for entry forms but look for them soon on the Fiber Art Fiesta website: www.fiberartsfiesta.org If you will be interacting with youngsters over the summer, remember that there is a Youth division in the fiesta entries. Your men-toring of fiber projects can be a big help in increasing the number of youth applicants next spring. We had no youth weaving or spinning entries in 2015. Please contact me if you have questions about this event.

Phreadde and Dan Davis donated some DVDs to the library and Phreadde sent the following note to Mary Ellen: My eyes are varying so wildly during the current treatments that I never know when I will have a good day. If things haven't cleared up enough to get to a meeting, then I will have Dan contact you to meet. We both hope to go to a guild meeting thought. Despite current eye problems, my health has been improving and I am spinning for hours a day right now (limping from the extreme exercise) and weaving when I can. Luckily, I am also reorganizing my sew-ing studio and one doesn't really need to see well to move boxes or sort things. I still have about 20 stacks on the floor to go through, but the machine is now in the room and the cutting table is clean every so often. Sewing hand-woven fabrics has me trying to figure out how to fit a better pressing system into the room. Luckily, with Dan's help threading the loom, I can often weave, even if all is blurry. I just pulled 2.5 lbs of handspun shawls off today and haven't even unrolled them yet to inspect. Nice warm angora shawls, which would have been better in November but still work at this time of the year. If we can't get to the next meeting, send our greetings along and hopes that we shall be there soon.

Scottish Jews finally have their own tartan after a

300 year wait They waited 300 years to have their own tartan, but for the 6,400 Jewish people living in Scotland there has finally been a victory. A rabbi initiated the process of the officially registered plaid, meaning Scottish Jews can now dance their jigs in officially registered at-tire. The tartan, featuring distinctive tones of navy and burgundy, is a kosher non wool-linen mix which abides by shatnez - the Jewish law prohibiting the mixture of wool and linen in garments. Religious experts and tartan authorities worked together to come up with a design that represent both Jewish values and Scottish history. The tartan is registered with the Scottish National Register of Tartan in the name of the Jewish Community of Scotland. The colors, weave, and number of threads have all been picked for their importance in Judaism. The tartan design features blue and white, the colors of both the Israeli and Scottish flags, with the central gold line representing the gold from the Ark in the Biblical Tabernacle. The silver is to represent the silver that adorns the Scroll of the Law, while the red depicts the traditional Kiddush wine. There are seven lines in the central motif and three in the flag representations - both-numbers of great significance in Judaism.

Rabbi Mendel Jacobs (pictured at left) - the only Scottish-born Rabbi living in Scotland - chose the kosher tartan. The tartan invention began in 2008 when a Glaswegian dentist, Dr Clive Schmulian, sat next to Paul Harris, editor of the Jewish Tele-graph, at a charity dinner in Glasgow. Clive was wearing a Flower of Scotland tartan kilt and was being subjected to ques-tioning by Mr Harris about whether there has ever been a Jewish kilt or Jewish tartans. 'There aren't any,' he told the Jerusalem Post. 'So we commissioned Slanj, a leading kilt outlet in Scotland to come up with three designs. 'We put them to an online poll on the Jewish Telegraph's website, 10,000 people voted, one was chosen and the winning de-sign was announced. 'Our aim is for the tartan to be worn by Scottish Jews, ex-pat Scottish Jews, members of Jewish organizations, individuals of any religion with links to the Jewish and Israeli communities, so we also expect interest from expatriates and Jewish people in Scotland.' The first Jewish person recorded as living in Edinburgh is 1691. Most Scottish Jews arrived in the 1890s, when Scottish shipping companies were ac-tive in transporting Jewish passengers from Eastern Europe to America. Thousands of passengers were routed through Glasgow and when they arrived, many Jewish immigrants decided to cut their journeys short, settling in Scotland instead of New York. Passengers who were unable to meet the rigorous health standards demanded on Ellis Island also sometimes decided to stay in Scotland, and build their new lives there. Scotland's Jewish community rose to the chal-lenge of providing for the influx of Eastern European Jews. In 1908, at the peak of Jewish immigra-tion, only 75 received state-funded statutory poor relief in all of Scotland. All other new arrivals had their needs - from housing to health, from education to food - provided by Scotland's many Jewish chari-ties.
