Elkin residents showcase Chatham Mill style at Carolina Classic Fair
A grandmother and granddaughter duo showcased some unique fashion with a local twist at the Carolina Classic Fair earlier this month in Winston-Salem. Using textiles from sample blankets from the former Chatham Mill, Eileen Kerr and her granddaughter Carolina Kerr, designed and modeled repurposed fashion garments, alongside sheep as part of the competitions at the regional fair. Eileen Kerr has been a student of the Yadkin Valley Fiber Center in Elkin for several years now. Her most recent classes have been in rigid heddle weaving, indigo dyeing, and beginning and intermediate weaving. She is currently working on woven twill wraps. For the Carolina Classic competition, Kerr wore a jacket constructed of parts of antique wool blankets from the historic Chatham Textile Mill. Part of the jacket, the sleeves, were sewn of dense wool felt. Embellishments on her wool hat, handbag and her sheep’s wool scarf were made of wet felted wool roving. Carolina Kerr, a fifth grader at Elkin Elementary, modeled a raspberry-colored merino wool sweater. Her scarf, handbag, and her sheep’s scarf were designed and made by her. The base of each item was constructed of antique wool blankets from the Chatham Mill founded in 1877. Decorations on her
