The Wool Mill at Shepherd's Cross

• The farm processes the wool and alpaca fiber that is shorn each year, when the sheep get their annual haircut before the heat of the summer
• The wool mill is a "mini-mill" and only processes our own fiber
• Wool is washed, dyed, picked, carded, spun, woven, knitted, crocheted and/or felted
• The annual Woolly Weekend is the last weekend in April, and features a sheep-to-shawl event
• Unique antique equipment is being refurbished to weave again - Dobby Jacquard looms from the early industrial era
• The museum houses a collection of spinning wheels, looms and tapestries from many eras and nations
• Wool Mill Tours may be guided or self-guided, and donations are welcome
• Classes are available for groups and individuals - must be scheduled in advance
