Farm to table? More like farm to runway! Students at #NCStateWilson got hands-on experience transforming raw wool into beautiful fabrics.
Eliza Sweeney (TD ‘26) and Grace Avery (TD ‘26) learned about sustainable practices, explored the intricate process of fiber transformation, and gained invaluable experience as part of their independent study.
“Locally sourcing my own materials or fibers would be a cool way to connect what I learned in that class to my own lifestyle,” Sweeney says.
