News - Woolen Wonders- A Wrapsody of Wool

Have you ever wondered how wool becomes cloth? At Seasonal Wrapsody you can find out! The Nottawasaga Handweavers and Spinners Guild will be sharing wool preparation, spinning, and weaving techniques. Come try it for yourself with hands-on activities. If you visit each step of the process, you will be eligible to win a woolen shawl, handmade by the guild. Wool creates an unbelievable fabric that is warm, antibacterial, durable, and is biodegradable. The varieties of wool are astounding. With the world of spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, and felting, wool can be made into a vast portfolio of clothing, blankets and more.
