We will have some yarn, needles and looms for you to use that day. The looms will be from very simple to more sophisticated. This is a day for fun and trying something new or just coming to view some products made by local artisans.
On October 2nd you can come to the Senior Center on Bridge Street at see what an Alpaca looks like. What does their fiber feel like? Have you ever dyed cloth or fiber? Would you believe you can use onion skins or marigold flowers to dye cloth?
Watch an artist spin fiber. See how a loom is used to weave. Did you know this is how clothing can be made?
