Educational programs are also available at Slater Mill in conjunction with a site tour. Think back to New England before Samuel Slater and the Industrial Revolution. This program explores the hand processing of three natural fibers commonly used in the region. It provides a hands-on introduction to the processes used to convert cotton, wool, and flax into usable knitting, sewing, and weaving yarn and thread. The museum instructor will bring raw wool, cotton, flax, hand cards, a flax hackle, and a spinning wheel to make yarn in your classroom or meeting room.
