Event Details
Watch history spin to life as Toni Kaste demonstrates on an antique flax wheel! Toni will walk you through the entire journey of flax, from growing and retting (soaking) to spinning and weaving, with actual soaked flax, woven linen samples, and a helpful flowchart on display. Learn how this versatile fiber became essential to textiles, clothing, and Long Island’s own agricultural past.
Try weaving on a frame loom and a tape loom, a drop spindle or spinning.
