January 13, 2024 – From Sheep to Yarn 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! For more information, please email events@noahwebsterhouse.org. Thank you to our 2023-2024 Sponsor, the Rotary Club of West Hartford!
