I'll be volunteering at the Sheep to Shawl demonstration, working with the wool. Come by and see this amazing day of traditional skills and historically inspiring activities!
During Pioneer Day 2026 on October 11th, stop by the sheep to Shawl exhibit area for the opportunity to watch all the elements of the textile making process. Watch the wool be removed from a sheep during the hand shearing demonstration. Then follow the cleaning and carding process, watch spinning on a spindle and wheel, learn about natural dyes and different fibers, and finally watch crochet, knitting, and weaving as the fiber is turned into useful objects.
