Fiber Arts at Hagood Mill Historic Site

Explore the Art of Fiber Crafting

At Hagood Mill, we honor the role fiber arts have played in shaping local history and culture. From sheep's wool and cotton to natural dyes from native plants, fiber crafting connects us to the land and to the artisans who have kept these traditions alive.

Our workshops and demonstrations highlight:

• Spinning: Transforming raw fibers into yarn using traditional methods.
• Weaving: Creating intricate patterns on looms, just as our ancestors did.
• Natural Dyeing: Using plants and other natural materials to create vibrant colors.
• Felting and Quilting: Crafting textiles with artistry and function in mind.
