The Yarmouth History Center has a fiber-filled fall and winter planned, starting with a November field trip to the historic Jagger Brothers mill in Springvale, Maine and continuing with a series of workshops and knitting circles through the winter. Join us to learn how to knit or participate in our Knit-Along to create special winter accessories with ties to our town’s history. The programming closes with a lecture by Anne Emlein of the Maine College of Art, who will speak about knitting’s colorful history. Come to one event or come to them all. We hope you’ll join us.
