Have a spinning wheel from your grandmother's attic that you're not sure if it has all the pieces, or how it even works? Bring it this Saturday to the monthly Louisa County Fiber Guild meeting and ask one of our spinning experts!

The second Saturday of each month brings fiber enthusiasts together to spin, crochet, knit, weave, and embroider at the Sargeant Museum from 10 am - 1 pm.

Don't know how to do any of that? No problem! One of the Fiber Guild members would be happy to teach you!
