This Sunday, September 13th!
Have you ever dreamed of starting with a raw fleece freshly sheared off the sheep and then transforming it into a wearable garment? Then we have the perfect opportunity for you.
Start by going on a field trip to Carnation Farms Sunday, September 13th, 10am - 12pm to watch 10 of their adorable lambs get sheared by a professional shearer. Buy your fresh fleece right there! Watch and listen to Anna Hosick-Kalahan of Skagit Woolen Works talk about skirting a fleece and what to look for when purchasing your first fleece.*
Stop for some lunch at the Carnation Farm Stand for delicious fresh made sandwiches, snacks, fresh produce, and treats.
Then head to Clear Creek Farm where from 1pm to 4pm Anna Hosick-Kalahan will be teaching her workshop on Wool Breeds, Fleece Selection, and Scouring. Learn more about different types of wool and how to clean your fleece for processing.
Come back the following Sunday, September 20th, 1pm - 4pm to take Anna’s workshop on Wool Prep Tools & Techniques to learn how to turn your clean fleece into fiber ready to be spun.
