Sunday Lecture: The Vanishing Fleece with Clara Parkes
Clara will share with us the story behind her popular book Vanishing Fleece. We will hear about the journey of her bale of wool from shearing to product. Learn how fleece is produced, baled, shipped, and turned into yarn as she presents a behind-the-scenes look at the process.
Class Fee: $5, payable at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.
