Members of the spinning guild helped present at Storytime at the Martinez Library.
Saturday, March 23, three guild members – Wendy, Amy, and Jane – co-starred at storytime at the Martinez Library. The book was Charlie Needs a Cloak, by Tomie DePaoli, a story about how wool from sheep can be turned into fabric for clothing. The guild members brought a variety of wool fleece (washed, carded, batt, dyed and undyed), spinning wheels and spindles, and a loom to augment the book’s story. After the story, they demonstrated carding, spinning and weaving for the children who attended the event.
