Save the Date!
Saturday, July 9
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Each summer cyclists gather to conquer the Tour de France—a threeweek adventure of dedication, challenges and achieving personal and
team g oals. Another group of spinners gather in person and in online
forums to do the same, but these wheels don’t power bicycles. For the
over 7,400 participants of last year’s Tour de Fleece, the spinning wheels
are for making yarn!
Members of the Washington Spinners and Weavers Guild will be bringing
a little part of the Tour de Fleece to the library on Saturday, July 9 from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Come see several types of spinning wheels in action and
watch the process from fiber to yarn. We’ll even combine old technology
with new by using the library’s 3-D printer to make an old hand-spinning
tool called a drop spindle.
No registration necessary- just drop in! Please contact the Washington
Spinners and Weavers Guild at [email protected] for more
information.
