\nAbout the Stranded Spinners:
The Stra
nded Spinners group loves fiber! All kinds-wool\, alpaca\, llama\, cotton\
, silk\, bamboo\, canine (Samoyed\, Old English Sheepdog)\, anything that
will twist into a yarn or thread. \;
Some say that the inventi on of turning fiber into thread\, yarn or rope should be listed with the i nvention of fire\, agriculture or electricity for the advancement it has a fforded to humanity. \; No longer did humans have to kill an animal fo r a skin for clothing or portable shelter and twisted fiber made into rope s allowed for animal domestication and many other things. \; Like many inventions\, people turned this practical skill into an art form!
\nDuring their residency at The Hive®\; they hope to indulge in fiber ex periments while continuing to build the fiber community (farmers\, crafter s\, interested children and adults) in Spokane. They hope to show that the &ldquo\;slow clothing&rdquo\; process can offer people much more than an item to wear.
