Friday Evening Presentation

Cotton From Plant To Fabric

By Joan Ruane and Jill Holbrook

Come and enjoy Joan and Jill, two of Arizona's most entertaining instructors, describe the where, when and how of planting cotton and the Fall harvest. We follow the cotton through the ginning process, the classification of all United States bales of cotton and how it is processed to get it ready to spin into yarn. Joan and Jill describe both open-end and ring spinning; finishing with the weaving of cotton into fabric.
