Snacks and drinks provided! The event will include: - brief presentation about wool clothing and processing basics - live demo of wool processing tools (hand carders, picking, hand spinning, and wheel spinning) - hands-on wool processing activities - examples of raw unwashed wool and wool yarns, hats, scarves, sweaters, and amigurumi - clean wool to take home wool and practice, plus a guide on how to make your own hand-spinner out of chop-sticks - snacks and drinks!
