Sunday, April 14 @ 1:00pm - 2:30pm
Led by Jasmine Haldane

Meet "Grape" the French Angora rabbit while learning about what it takes to keep your very own fiber producing animal! In this workshop, Jasmine will cover rabbit husbandry, grooming requirements, how to take care of fiber, and what's it's like to spin and knit angora/angora blends.

Get your questions answered while petting and grooming Grape, see how Angora fiber works up and acts as a knit, and get an opportunity to “spin from the cloud” for students who are familiar with spinning.

Important Note
Grape triggers an allergic reaction in those with a known rabbit allergy — this workshop is not appropriate for anyone who may have a rabbit allergy.

Grape is also unfamiliar with children, so we ask that no one under the age of 14 sign up for this workshop to ensure Grape’s comfort.

This workshop includes
One hour of instruction and Q&A from Jasmine
Small sample of Angora fiber
Opportunity to spin Angora “from the cloud”
Quality time with Grape :)

No prerequisites for this workshop, though spinning opportunities are for those who are already familiar with how to use a spinning wheel!
