The Barn To Yarn Experience with Chris Armbrust
Join Chris for a transformative immersion into the world of fiber processing. The 3-day Barn to Yarn Experience is an opportunity to interact directly with the animals, touch their soft fleeces, then follow the process as raw fiber is transformed into finished yarn right before your eyes. Plus you’ll enjoy the hospitality of our boutique hotel with made-from-scratch meals in our dining room. The experience includes making your own felted sheet, dyeing yarn, and even feeding the animals.

Bladesmithing with Uncle Jed
Spend the day at the forge, hammering out and crafting your very own custom knife. You will work step-by-step alongside instructor Jed Anderson, who will demonstrate every technique so you can see exactly how to master the craft. Rather than using pre-cut blanks, you will forge a blade from a raw chunk of steel, navigate the heat-treating process, and fit a custom handle to your blade. Completion of your knife should take 6-8 hours. Lunch is included at the Nome Schoolhouse. Each class is separate; you should complete your knife within that day.
