Come explore what can be done with textiles! Hands go to work spinning wool on an ancient drop spindle, felting wool into shapes, and even helping to process wool and flax. Drop in to our "Loom Zone" and sewing station to learn some new skills.
Dwell into the world of the Lenape Indians to learn how they used natural fibers to create cordage and weave amazing belts and bands. Also weave a simple basket to take home! ($5 fee applies).
