Rug braiding and yarn spinning were once essential skills in Appalachian communities, allowing families to clothe themselves, warm their homes, and express their artistry using the resources at hand. 

Come learn how this tradition continues today—not just as a craft, but as a living connection to the resilience and ingenuity of the mountains.
