Hannah spins thread in a wool spinning demonstration at the Sandwich Fair. Over the entirety of the fair, Friday to Monday, she will create an entire shawl to be raffled off on the final day of the fair. The natural fiber arts competition draws in many spinners from all over the state. Hannah won a blue ribbon at the 2021 Sandwich Fair for a shawl she made.
The natural fiber art winners are displayed next to real spinners who are demonstrating how they made their blue ribbon work.
