The Hill District in Pittsburgh is a historic African American community and was a center for jazz. One of the closest residential neighborhoods to “Dahntahn”, it was the center of the African American community until WW1. In the 1950s, a vast swath of the neighborhood was seized for redevelopment, with relocation of over 8000 residents, which led to a drastic economic decline as the neighborhood was severed from the rest of the city.
The Hill District is the setting for 9 out of 10 plays in the playwright August Wilson’s Pittsburgh Cycle and was the setting for the TV show Hill Street Blues.
This listing contains one ounce samples of six 23 micron fine merino combed tops in beautifully commercially dyed hues. Use for spinning or felting. Spin as is to create a gradient, or spin mini skeins for a color block pattern, or blend with a blending board, drum carder, or hackle. The options are endless!
Care: Hand wash in tepid water, lay flat to dry. This fiber will felt!
Colors may vary according to monitors, but all effort has been taken to accurately depict the colors of the fiber.
