The Manitowoc County Historical Society Museum and Pinecrest Village, 924 Pinecrest Road in Manitowoc, will hold a Winter Weekend 'fiber arts' themed program on Saturday, March 15 from 11 am to 3 pm. Enjoy the winter weekend by exploring a handful of historic buildings in the Village, embrace the winter by snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or sledding, and enjoy the season!
Program highlights include:
- Help make a community quilt at the Dress shop.
- Weaving and spinning demonstrations at the Two Creeks Town Hall.
- Bring your needles or Crochet and join in the Knit In in the Sorenson parlor.
All program activities are included in general admission. Admission is $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (age 62+), $10 for children age 4 to 17, and free for children under age 4. MCHS members receive free general admission.
The program will also include a wool spinning workshop, as part of the Create-Connect heritage skills series. The workshop takes place from Noon to 3 pm. Learn the basics of spinning wool, a timeless skill that Wisconsinites have been doing for generations! Participants will get to feel the differences between different breeds of wool, hone their skills using a drop spindle, and take home yarn that they’ve spun themselves. The class includes all the supplies, including your very own drop spindle to take home. Advanced registration is required for the workshop. The workshop fee includes general admission for the day.
Winter Weekends are made possible in part by Bank First and Seehafer News.
