Tuesday Trades: Live with the Weavers


  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Williamsburg, VA USA (map)

When English imports were cut off by the Revolution, local weavers came forward to fill the need for everyday items. Watch how flax, cotton, and wool are converted from tangled masses into orderly, precise fabrics - ranging from simple linens for shirts and shifts to blankets, towels, dyed wool for needlework, and stout woolens for military uniforms. Join us for our season Dye Day HERE.
