Why Hemp is So Important, Both Yesterday and Today – Saturday Seminar Recording

This 1-hour seminar was presented by Joan Ruane on March 25, 2023 via Zoom. Joan has been teaching spinning for almost 30 years. As a graduate from Springfield College, she taught in the Tucson public schools before going to New Zealand in 1971. In New Zealand at that time were 3 million people and 30 million sheep, she learned to spin from Ruth Reid. Returning home to the U.S. a year later, she brought with her two fleeces, a Pipy wheel and a flick carder. Anyone who has taken a class with Joan can vouch for two things: she really loves cotton and hemp and she knows how to teach!
