Wool Processing: From Sheep to Project

Ever wonder what goes into making a wool sweater? This class explores each step in the processing of wool. First, you'll meet our flock of sheep (and their lambs), then look at how wool is cleaned, dyed, and spun. We'll also discuss the importance of sheep to human civilization and the fundamentals of raising sheep. Finally, you will have the chance to make a decorative felt mat through the process of needle felting. Class takes place at Locust Hollow Sheep Farm.
