Sheep to Shawl

Saturday, October 3, 2026: 10 am - 2 pm

Sheep to Shawl is an annual family event that explores how our ancestors made their clothing from wool.

This free event will delight the entire family. Children will love seeing the sheep. Visitors will enjoy demonstrations of wool carding, dyeing, spinning, and weaving. Lace making and knitting on a vintage sock machine will also be demonstrated.

Handmade items from local and regional vendors will be available for purchase. They will include a wide variety of woolen and fiber clothing, raw and ready-to-spin fiber, hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns, and spinning and weaving equipment.

This year’s event is presented in association with Crafts in America as part of its Handwork 2026 project.
