Grab your drop spindle or spinning wheel and come spend a Sunday morning spinning wool!
Spin with Ewe is held the first Sunday of each month at Nash Lake Fiber Farm from 9:30-12, hosted by Theresa (Get Bentz Farm) and Amy (Nash Lake Fiber Farm). At each event, they’ll provide fiber for spinners to play with and a specific theme of focus, as well as education regarding the theme and technique tips for spinning and finished garments. Materials are sourced locally as much as possible, knowing sometimes we can't get it here. Information and fun stories about the adventures we had finding the fiber are also provided.
The theme of June’s Spin with Ewe is Breed Up! We will discuss the breed-up program and why we have to use this method to introduce different sheep breeds to the states. We will spin a variety of breed-up sheep fleeces and speak with shepherds who are participating in this program.
