Three Bags Full: All About Wool

April 15-21, April 27 and 28, 2013. Every Saturday and Sunday May 4 through June 30, 2013. 

From Colonial times to the present, spring has been the season for shearing sheep. The first step in this process is washing the wool, followed by: picking, carding, spinning and dyeing. Visitors can participate in many of these steps and make a project to take home.
