From Fleece to Cloth: Mini Demo

The Ball-Sellers House is celebrating 50 years of ownership of this c.1750 farmhouse after Marian Sellers donated it to the Arlington Historical Society for $10. We have so much history to share, we're launching a new mini history series twice a month on select Saturdays at 2:00 pm.

On May 31, come and see a demonstration of how colonial Virginia women turned sheep's wool into cloth. Reenactor Sandy Newton will show you how our colonial forebears who lived in THIS house would have turned sheep's wool into material for all sorts of things used in the house. She'll show you wool carding and spinning and even help you make a take home memento of a "bouncy ball" of felted wool.

All ages welcome!

All mini history events will begin at 2:00 at the Ball-Sellers House located at 5620 3rd Street, South, in Arlington
