APRIL 13 – 19 : WOOL DAYS
Join us this week to learn the art of hand-shearing sheep and processing wool. We’ll be carding and spinning using techniques from the 1600’s -1800’s. Although Wool Days doesn’t officially begin until Wednesday, we’ll have lots of activities happening across all farms in both the Old World and New World (America).
