From Sheep to Shawl

Follow the trail of early 1800s-era textiles, all the way from the field to the clothes, and items made from them. Starting with a hands-on experience carding wool, participants spin wheels to fill the spools. Hear the weasel “pop” as it measures the cloth before the product is sent off to be dyed. See an authentic loom of the period in action, as it creates the cloth. 10 am–3 pm.
