Sheep to Sweater by Macy Gilliam

Do you know how your clothes were made? Can you actually picture every step? Do you know what material they’re made out of? What they’re dyed with?

Macy Gilliam wanted to know these things. Since May, she has been going from sheep to sweater—taking raw wool and doing every step herself to turn it into a wearable (and hopefully cute) garment. Now she will be showing off all of these steps in this exhibition with New York Textile Month!

Drop by and see (and smell and touch) what it takes to process wool, spin yarn, and dye with natural dyes. Macy will be doing live yarn-spinning demos, showing different examples and functions of fibers, and of course, wearing her sweater.

RSVP required. Compliments to her sweater also required.
