Two of our guests show off their declarations of passion

Some days ago we had the fibers class at CSU visit the factory for a tour of the facilities as well as to see our “I Made It On My Schacht” show. We’re still feeling light hearted…We loved the energy of these young students; their enthusiasm was infectious. It was also exciting to see young people passionate about weaving and spinning.
