Field Trips and Farm Events
Come Visit Pluff Mudd Farm!
You can meet our animals, learn to spin and weave, and learn about indigo and linen processing. We offer home school field trips and family events and demonstrations.
We schedule field trips for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays from 10am-12pm. Participants meet the animals, use tools to process flax, card wool, and spin some yarn to keep on a drop spindle. The cost is $10 per participant.
We are also part of the Farm Fun Passport Program through the SC Agritourism Department.
Plans are in the works for some fun weaving and spinning classes. Contact us if you’re interested.
You can PM us on our Pluff Mudd Farm Facebook or Instagram pages or email us at farmer@pluffmuddfarm.com

SPINNING YARN
Spinning yarn puts YOU in the driver’s seat! You control the fibers used! You control the colors! You control the weight and type of yarn! It only takes desire, a little creativity, and practice! First you choose which fibers you’d like to work with. Then you blend them together in a batt on a drum carder. We begin making the yarn by spinning on a drop spindle. This allows you to learn how the fibers feel and move. So much beautiful yarn is spun on a spindle! It is small and portable, which allows you to spin anywhere! If you feel comfortable, then you can try out the spinning wheel! All materials are provided. You will choose from a variety of hand turned spindles to use in the class. These spindles are available for purchase. The class lasts 3 hours…we often go longer because we get carried away!
Ages 8 and up.
