The Rockport Garden Club will hold its November meeting on Thursday, November 6, with Jude Hsiang as the guest speaker starting promptly at 1 p.m. The program will highlight Hsiang’s particular interest in exploring the use of Maine grown fibers: wool, alpaca, linen and hemp. These are spun in Maine by hand or local mills.

Hsiang grows a dozen or so varieties of dye plants in her Central Maine garden and forages more in the wild. She also uses traditional dyes and fibers from around the world. A knitter, weaver, and stitcher, Hsiang enjoys putting her results to work in an array of items and selling naturally dyed yarns.
