Beginner’s

Loom and Weaving KitIncludes: Loom — Yarn — Weaving Needle — Instructions

Make your own bag just like back in the days of the pioneers and take home some of the Fort! You don’t need a huge wooden loom to weave cloth. Something as simple as a loom made of cardboard works just as well. All you need is in this package.

By the 1840s when Sutter’s Fort was built, many of the steps in creating cloth had been automated. In 1774 the power loom was in-vented by Edmund Cartwright and the first fully mechanized textile factory in the United States was established by Francis C. Lowell in Massachusetts in 1814.

However, many people living on the frontier still wove the cloth they used to make clothing, linens, and even wagon covers and supply bags.

At Sutter’s Fort, Captain Sutter’s head carpenter, James Marshall, built spinning wheels and looms for the blanket fac-tory, which is on the northeast side of the Fort. You can see the type of looms that may have been used.

Make Your Own

Corn Husk DollIncludes: Corn Husk — Artificial Sinew — Instructions

Feel like a pioneer boy or girl! In the days of the Fort, dolls of corn husk where made to entertain the children. They are created by using the dried outer leaves, or husks, of the corn cobs. Hair could be made from the corn silks, and sometimes clothing would be made specifically for the dolls, much like today, either with fabric or pieces of the corn husk. Native American children dressed their dolls in the style of their individual tribe.

→ Artificial Sinew
