About this Event
Join us any time between 10:00AM and 1:00PM to celebrate sheep and all that they provide us.
A professional shearer will be in the Children’s Farmyard to give some of our flock their yearly haircuts. After the sheep are shorn, you can skirt, wash, and card the fleece, a process that prepares wool to be spun into yarn and turned into warm, cozy clothing and blankets.
We’ll be spinning wool into yarn bracelets and wet felting, too. Plus, a few mother sheep and their lambs will be visiting the Children's Farmyard area for you to meet!
Short: A day of working with wool (washing, spinning, felting), visiting some of our lambs, and watching sheep be shorn!
