Learn the ways of the pioneers. The children will learn about different types of sheep and fiber animals. Then we will go through the sheering and cleaning process of an actual sheep that lives here at the Store. From there we will learn how to spin the wool that we cleaned by using a drop spindle. Once we have spun a skein of yarn we will spend a day dying our wool with natural dyes and Kool Ad. Then we will spend time learning how to knit with the yarn that we created. The finished project is a small knitted change purse.

We do ask that parents do not stay. If you need to work out a time schedule I am more than willing to talk to you about that. Cost $150 per child.($100 for the secondchild.) This will cover all supplies and a light mid morning snack.
Yoga For Crafters:
Friday, June 26th 6:00pm
Fee:$15.00
Are you tired of feeling tense and stiff after a marathon evening of crafting? Do aches and pains keep you from enjoying your favorite pastime? Then come to the Yoga for Crafters class. In this class we will show you how to ready different parts of the body from your toes to your eyes for a session of crafting by strengthening and stretching the muscles that get sore or tired by repetition, tension or simply by being immobile for a period of time. Also, suggestions on what to do for the 'mini stretch breaks' that you can take to rejuvenate you during a long, enjoyable session of crafting so that you can craft even longer!!
This class is for first-time yoga students, beginners or even more advanced students that would seek unique ways to invigorate those 'crafting muscles'. Please bring a yoga mat, block and strap if you have one, however, these items will be available to use at class if you do not have them. Be sure to wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing!
