François Jetté
is an artist from La Petite Nation in
Québec. For the last few years he has worked with his Legaré Sock
Knitting machine
to master the art of making socks but also through his demonstrations,
he has contributed at making the public re-discover this ancient craft
who is so important to our heritage. This specific knit machine was key
to the war effort at the beginning of the
20th century.
François will be demonstrating his sock machine’s techniques at the Museum on Saturday, October 27, from 10 to 3 pm in the Wool Hall Gallery.
