Craft of Spinning & Weaving Natural Fibers & Exotic Wools--a Free Demonstration

Freda Riley, Heddle House owner and “keeper of the house,” will demonstrate and teach weaving and spinning of natural fibers on Saturday, June 1, at the Greenville Farmers Market. Ms. Riley raises angora rabbits and both cashmere & mohair goats. She will have an angora rabbit with her for children and adults alike to find soft and awesome.

Weaving and spinning are homesteading skills that are almost lost to this area, particularly spinning. This is an opportunity to learn from Ms Riley who not only spins and weaves the exotic wools of Heddle House, but also utilizes an assortment of vegetable fibers including bamboo.

Come early to shop the farmers market and learn from and chat with Freda Riley. The Greenville farmer’s market is open from 8 am -11 am.
