Project Overview
Every day we use textiles. We wear them, dry dishes with them, hang them on our walls. We’ll explore how they’re made, the materials they’re made of, and the stories they tell. Programs will include a spinning demonstration, a hands-on introduction to knitting, or information on the history of knitting.
