More on the Port Hope Fair

The display of corn fibre and articles made from both handspun and commercial corn (ingeo)yarn.


Well, our display and demonstration at the Fair this weekend was a success! Many people came to see it and learned about all of the plant fibres that are out there now.



Mara, spinning flax. It was a bit surprising that many of our visitors did not associate flax with linen.

Next year's Port Hope Fair theme will be a celebration of the 180th anniversary of the Fair. We have to start thinking about our display for that. 180 skeins? 180 different fibres?
