Spend the day in one of our historic homes with a costumed instructor and learn how to spin! Mixing history with practical techniques, this workshop will teach participants all the basic skills in the process that turns wool into yarn. Begin by carding wool and then learn about different natural dyes. Next, spin the wool into yarn on both the drop spindle and on an antique treadle spinning wheel. End the day by taking home all the yarn you have spun!
