Planning for Roc Day 2026 will start in September 2025.
Objective: Create a Scarf Inspired by the Photo of Taughannock Falls in Winter
Rules: All yarn and thread used in the project has to be handspun by the person submitting the project, this includes warp yarn, sewing thread etc. The scarf may be constructed with any fiber art technique known to humankind. Any fiber or blend may be used. If you want color, you may either dye your own fiber at any state of the process or resort to commercially dyed fiber. The finished object has to be submitted latest at Roc Day 2026, January 10th, by 10:30am. With the submission add a note about which fibers and techniques you used in the creation of the scarf and how they relate to the photo-inspiration. The spinning challenge is open to all, guild members and non-members alike.
All submitted scarfs will be judged in three categories: Most Beautiful, Best Interpretation of the Photo (both by public vote), and Best Technique (by a team of judges).
The guild has a limited number of 8-ounce bags of white Finn wool available for spinners, who do not feel they have suitable fiber in their stash for the project.
