June 25 The Baker
River Spinners: Sheep to Shawl Demonstration
We are lucky to have a group here in the Baker Valley that own sheep,
and can process the fleece the way it was done in olden times. Come
any time during the day to see the fleece washed, carded, combed, dyed,
and spun. When there is enough yarn, we will warp a loom and weave
a shawl. Although the ladies will be working all day, and you can
drop by at any time and ask questions, the weaving will not take place
until the regular time of 7:00 p.m., just because so much has to be done
before that stage.

August 20. Brendan
Buckley. Reading the Past from Old Wood
