Have a sheep shearing fiber festival right at your library! Learn how shepherds care for sheep from lamb to ewe, and watch one of the flock lose their fleece.
Then, make a drop spindle from recycled materials, and after carding you can spin the wool right from the sheep! This program provides patrons with a working knowledge of sheep breeds and their various uses around the world, and wool and spindle to bring home to keep on spinning!
This program is suitable for the 2023 summer reading theme All Together Now on Kindness, Friendship, and Unity.
