If you are intrigued by the art of handspinning and would like to see local spinners working at a variety of wheels, and have the opportunity to purchase local handspun yarn, plan to be at the Dudley Farm on Sunday afternoon April 13th from 1:00 to 4:00. The Second Sunday Fiber Artisans will be meeting at the farm and providing demonstrations. There will be an opportunity for beginners to try their hand at spinning on a drop spindle. A sheep shearing and fleece sorting demonstration will take place at 2:00. Visitors will be able to meet with representatives of Twist of Fate Spinnery, find a perfect skein of yarn to take home from many of the spinners and view displays of many different fiber arts including the Connecticut Blanket.
The Second Sunday Fiber Artisans are a group of spinners, weavers, knitters and crocheters who are dedicated to preserving and promoting ancient and contemporary fiber arts. The group meets the second Sunday of most months at different locations in Connecticut, and welcomes new members and visitors.
