Event

From Fleece to Cloth: Reenactment at Ball Seller’s House

See a demonstration of how colonial Virginia women turned sheep’s wool into cloth. Reenactor Sandy Newton will show you how our colonial forebears who lived in this c.1750 farmhouse turned sheep’s wool into material for all sorts of things used in the house. She’ll show you wool carding and spinning and even help you make a take home “bouncy ball” of felted wool. Also! free tours of the house from 1-4 PM. All ages welcome!
