Acadian Brown Cotton

June 2015 on this blog there was other information regarding Acadian Brown Cotton--
Recently, this video was shared on Gist Yarn podcast--oh, so many fond memories! Love these ladies and their heritage--My Acadian friends were sharing from their hearts and hands--I learned many techniques--how to gin brown cotton by hand, how to card to make a rolag, spinning off the point, plying and most important--how they used this fine delicate short staple cotton.
If you interested and want more information, look for their educational video on Acadian Brown Cotton website. I enjoy viewing the video over and over as I watch many of my Friends share their heritage with the fiber world.
