For 
A Great Beginner Spinning Project
By Patti Moreno
Did you know that you would freeze to death before you starve to death? Well maybe you've never thought about it that way, but people throughout history thought a lot about it. Making clothing took up a large amount of women's time and up until the 50's many people still made their own clothing. Now out clothing comes from China or India. My mom made a lot of her clothing growing up and taught me how to knit and my grand mother taught me how to crochet. I love making quilts, but my favorite hobby is spinning and knitting. It is an essential part of my life. In these videos, I go through the process of making a garter stitch scarf with hand spun yarn. It's a great beginner project. My favorite part of a project like this is spinning the wool in a random pattern.
Enjoy and support your local fiber farm by purchasing your wool and yarn products from them.

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.
Sustainability, in a broad sense, is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans it is the potential for long-term maintenance of wellbeing, which in turn depends on the wellbeing of the natural world and the responsible use of natural resources.
