12 youth have been participating in the 4-H Sci-Fi Camp in Randolph County. Instructor, Susan Garkalns has been designing experiments with different fabrics and fibers. In addition, youth took a field trip to Hickory Mountain Weavery and learned about the many looms used to create fabrics and textiles.
Youth are dying fabrics using koolaid, cabbage and spinach. Youth have learned to warp a loom and have begun the task of WEAVING! Everyone would tell you that they have learned a lot of patience this week.
The pictures show scraping a pineapple leaf to extract a fiber and warping a loom by hand.
