Ewe like knitting? Sewing? Spinning wool? Then bring your wheels and needles and be a part of living history at the Accokeek Foundation's National Colonial Farm. The Stitch 'n Time Textiles Club will meet the 4th Saturday of each month, beginning April 25th, 2009 from 1 pm to 4 pm.

Enjoy learning about the cultivation of fleece, wool dying, and colonial textiles. Club members will use wool from the farm's heritage breed sheep to card, spin, and knit. For those more handy with a sewing needle, join us in creating 18th century clothing for our costumed interpreters. And if you know how to use a Leclerc four harness loom, come do some weaving!
