Field Trip to Cedars Textile Center

Dexter's class had a field trip to Cedars Textile Center where they got to see the process of weaving after they finished their weaving projects in class.

 First all the kids learned about the source of some of the weaving, the sheep and alpacas.

Feeding the alpacas.

Then we all took a tour of their gardens.

Then a demo of how wool is woven into thread.

Other textile sources.

Don't forget about the down from Angora as another source.
