With the sheep sheared Saturday we are off to the races to start processing all this white fluff. While we work on using up all this wool, following along through all the steps it takes to process wool at home on a mid-1800s farm. There will be opportunities to lend a hand as well, as you experience the amazing transformation of white fluff on a sheep’s back to colorful clothing on yours! Here’s the schedule:

  • Monday, April 6 | 10am – 12pm – Washing Wool
  • Tuesday, April 7 | 10am – 12pm – Carding Wool
  • Wednesday, April 8 | 10am – 12pm – Spinning Wool
  • Thursday, April 9 | 10am – 12pm – Natural Yarn Dyeing
  • Friday, April 10 | 10am – 12pm – Crafting with Wool
