GVWSG Meeting and Program: Natural Fibers by Louisa Chadwick

by GVWSG on February 12, 2010

Thursday, February 18, 2010 from 7:30pm – 10:00pm
Aberthau Cultural Centre

Like a wine tasting, we will have a chance to see and touch a number of different fibres and yarns made with them, many perhaps familiar and some that may be new. The accompanying slides will acquaint us with the animals and plants that produce these fibres and the processes necessary to get them into a useful form.
