Nutmeg Spinners' Guild

  • St. John's Episcopal Church 679 Farmington Avenue West Hartford, CT, 06119 United States (map)

Alisa will give a brief overview of the 300-year-old, 43-acre farm, plus the products that they make. She will then discuss Alpaca breeding, raising and the harvesting of their beautiful fleece, and provide participants with the opportunity to spin samples. We will card various mixtures of Alpaca with a complementary fiber to assess desirable weights and characteristics to create yarns for different types of projects.
