Fiber Revival at Beck's Mill

Fiber Revival at Beck's Mill - May 17th 

This event features the very rare running of both the carding machines!  The Fiber Revival activities will begin at 10:00am. 

The carding machines are dated to 1816 and considered the oldest in the country...only 5 are left to our knowledge & our 2 are the mills originals! The carding machines were restored in 2007-2008 at the Lovett Mill in Tennessee. Many sheep to Shaw demonstrations...sheep shearing, spinning classes, felting classes, dyeing classes, weaving, quilting, hand carding, crochet and knitting.
