Name: From Sheep to Yarn | Life on the Webster Farm: Work Days
Date: January 11, 2025
Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
Website: http://www.noahwebsterhouse.org/work-days
Event Description:

Visit the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society on Saturday, January 11 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm to enjoy live demonstrations from our experienced team of museum educators. Each demonstration will focus on a unique aspect of early American work and play.

Where does yarn come from? What is it used for? Our museum teachers (in 18th-century period attire) will demonstrate how to spin sheep’s wool into yarn on our reproduction spinning wheels. Want to learn how? Try your hand at “carding” the wool, or finger-spinning and using the drop-spindle. Take home a sample of the wool …you’ve earned it!

This program is included in museum admission. Enjoy FREE general admission for children under 12 for this event!
