Event Details

To most, the spinning wheel is nothing more than a romantic relic of the past, but to Early Americans, this simple machine provided an efficient way to produce yarn. Come and observe the methods of carding, drafting and spinning unprocessed fleece into yarn. Hands-on activities included.
