Come join us on the farm for a workshop with our unique Icelandic sheep! Using the lovely soft roving from our Icelandic sheep, we'll explore creating Icelandic yarns on your own spinning wheel. You’ll learn to control the twist and create an even soft lofty yarn. It will have a softness to it not seen in the mass-produced commercial Icelandic style yarns due to the wonderful fibre made by our flock! Some previous experience required. The workshop includes 100g of wool roving from our Icelandic sheep, instruction, light refreshments and a tour to meet the makers behind our Icelandic wool! There will be plenty of time to get up close and personal with our flock and to take lots of pics. You will also meet our livestock guardian donkey Shasta! Bring your spinning wheel and a picnic lunch.
