Have you ever wondered how yarn was made? Do you enjoy learning new crafts? Does history intrigue you? Then this program is for you! Hand spindle spinning has been practiced since ancient times and is still relevant today. You will learn how to choose wool, prepare it for spinning and then spin it into a beautiful yarn in NJSOC's historic DeGroat Cabin.
Your instructor is Rosanna Lovecchio, a lifelong fiber artist who has been knitting since the age of 10. A member of the North Country Spinners, Rosanna started spinning her own yarn about 10 years ago, as well as weaving. She believes "There is nothing more satisfying than taking a mass of fiber and turning it into something beautiful."
This workshop is open to teens (age 13 and up) and adults, and is limited to 10 participants. Participants under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
