🧶Calling all spinners🧶

The Centre is seeking the services of skilled wool spinners to create yarn for a Cape Breton inspired wool sweater project.

This hand knit Cape Breton Sweater will be textured style and reflect the history and culture of Cape Breton Island. This project is inspired by the two sweater projects developed in the late 1970s and early 80s; the Cape Breton Development Corporation (DEVCO) commissioned three sweaters based on Mi`kmaq, Gaelic, and Acadien cultures; and the four county sweater designs commissioned by Cape Breton Woolen Mills (Irish Cove).
