Maker Faire Asheville 2023
Purl's Yarn Emporium
Home: North Carolina, United States
We'll be demonstrating a variety of fiber crafts, from raw fleeces fresh off the sheep to spinning into yarn, dyeing techniques (which we won't be demoing live because of potential mess), the design process, and knitting.
