Spinning Wheel Trouble Shooting
Spinner and weaver Bruce Engebretson will be available from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday Sept. 10 at the Farm to Fiber Festival to help trouble shoot spinning wheel problems. Is your wheel not working right? Are you not sure which part is missing or needs replaced? Bruce can help get your wheel back on track and give you tips on how to spin. Please bring your own wheel if you want help repairing it. Otherwise, come watch spinning demonstrations and learn more about how spinning wheels work.
The completed Tapestry Felted Traditional Mongolian Yurt will appear at various festivals in 2022. Check back for more information or ask to be added to our email list.
