Good quality cloth, that is, superfine wool broadcloth, that was suitable for men's apparel, was primarily imported from Great Britain. Broadcloth was so called because it was woven on a wide loom creating in fabric that was 54 to 63 inches wide. High quality broadcloth also required expert dyeing and finishing. Finishing processes included fulling, using heat and moisture to shrink up the fabric; napping, to raise the fibers; and shearing, to trim the nap evenly. As E. E. Perkins said in 1833, They are distinguished from others by their stoutness, and are good in proportion to the fineness and closeness of the weft, the reasonable shortness of the nap, the soft, silky, but not spongy feel, and the goodness of the dye. 2 While Americans were producing a variety of wool textiles, usually in the household or on the plantation, domestic manufacturing of fine wool fabrics, using specialized equipment operated by skilled workers, was in its infancy. One early attempt at the production of wool broadcloth was the Hartford Woolen Manufactory, established in 1788. This firm supplied 13½ yards of brown broadcloth that George Washington had made into a suit for his inauguration as the first president of the United States on April 30, 1789. Washington deliberately chose to wear an American-made suit, noting, in a letter to the Marquis de Lafayette, "I hope it will not be a great while, before it will be unfashionable for a gentleman to appear in any other dress. Indeed we have already been too long subject to British prejudices." 3 As Jeremiah Wadsworth, one of the founders of the factory, put it, "I do hope it will be worn by one whose example will be worth more than any other encouragement that can be given to our infant Manufactures." 4 Wadsworth had been Commissary General for the Continental Army in the War for

Planning and executing a reenactment can be a daunting challenge for a site that has never hosted one. Like any special event, you have to make sure you have the staffing, resources, and logistics to handle the event. There might also be resistance from higher ups who worry about public safety and bad press from allowing outside groups to participate in programming for the site. These are legitimate issues, but they can be mitigated by solid planning and working with credible reenactors and reenactment units. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of how to plan and run a reenactment at an established historic site. There will be three parts to this article series: the first part of the article will give an overview of reenactments and reenactors in general, the second will explain what overarching questions you need to ask before and during planning your reenactment, and the last will get into the specific details of planning, logistics, marketing, and running a reenactment. Some background and caveats: I have nearly 20 years of experience in both participating in and running reenactments, but my experiences are limited to the United States. The basics of producing a reenactment are the same regardless of location but you will need to do research to find out specific details, such as laws and insurance regulations, for your own country and locality. This is important because nothing generates bad press for a site like inspectors coming in to shut down your event because you forgot to file the right permits or notify the appropriate authorities of your event. It will be hard to convince people to come out for your next event after that.

Projects have ranged from small, outdoor bombings announcing the opening of a new exhibit to covering whole building facades, and even an entire suspension bridge in Pittsburgh, PA. While these projects are whimsical and can gain a museum a lot of attention, they also make visitors see the museum in a new light and can be a way to reengage with the public.
Like with other forms of art and craft, the process of creation is just as important as the finished product. Participants not only enjoy the creative and artistic aspects of yarn bomb projects, they also like being part of a community and seeing their pieces as part of a larger work. Small or large, museum yarn bomb projects are not just about adding color to the museum exterior or grounds. They are about inviting the public to interact with the museum in a new way and creating a community that empowers people to be creative and work together for art.
