Hands-On History Workshop: Spinning Wool
Wash, Card and Spin Your Own Wool
Want to master the art of spinning wool? This interactive workshop will take fledgling and seasoned students alike through 1800s yarn design: start with sheep fleece and finish with your own wool yarn. Learn how to wash, prepare and card wool before trying your hand at using a spinning wheel like those used in the 19th century. No experience is necessary to spin—a trusted Old World Wisconsin ambassador will help you learn to create yarn you can be proud of. Workshop attendance also includes FREE admission to Old World Wisconsin on the day of the class, a free prepared lunch and a skein of professionally made yarn from the wool of Old World Wisconsin’s sheep.
