Paula, Mary Jeanne, and Tegan take fiber from their own sheep and local farms to create yarn and woven products. Learn from their journey how they work with sheep to create the wool we want to wear, how they take that fiber through the milling and dyeing process, and how it’s woven into designs for the home and wearable fabric – all in New York State!Farmer, Paula Kucera, owns White Farm Barn in New Paltz, NY. Paula raises a flock of Cormo sheep from which she creates and hand dyes beautiful roving and yarns for the hand spinner and knitter. Mary Jeanne Packer owns Battenkill Fibers Carding and Spinning Mill. Mary Jeanne founded Battenkill Fibers in 2009 to provide value-added, custom carding and spinning services for fiber farms and makers; and to manufacture yarn and fiber products for wholesale and retail markets. The mill produces 100-150 lbs of artisan quality natural-colored and dyed semi-worsted yarn daily using refurbished traditional milling machinery. Tegan Frisano, of Comfortcloth Weaving, LLC specializes in producing heirloom quality, hand woven products for the home, as well as yardage for the fashion and accessories industries using locally sourced and processed fiber. The CCE Animal Fiber work team’s mission is comprised of Cornell faculty, CCE educators, and industry stakeholders. Together they work to develop programming, educational opportunities, and identify areas of research that will improve the sustainability of the NYS animal fiber community. The animal fiber work team is a sub-committee of the CCE Livestock program work team.NYTM is now in its 6th year. Founded by Lidewij Edelkoort NYTM’s mission is to bring textile heritage, tradition & knowledge, back into the hands of those working and creating in fiber arts.Join the ‘In Our Own Backyard’ conversation on Thursday Sept. 23rd from 7:00 – 8:30 here https://tinyurl.com/ourownbackyard. ========================================= Unraveling the Alphabet Soup of Medicare Thursday, September 30, 2021 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Unraveling the Alphabet Soup of MedicareParts A, B, C, & DThe Steuben County Office for the Aging Health Insurance Counselor will join us to unravel:The confusing and complicated Medicare systemCoordination of BenefitsAdvantage Plans versus MedigapPenaltiesMedicare.gov websiteJoin at one of three upcoming sessions:Thursday, Sept 30, 2021 6:00-8:00 p.m.Steuben County Office Building Annex20 E.
