It’s Shearing Day! Don’t miss this once-a-year event at Savage Hart Farm. We’re also excited to introduce our new Corriedale Confetti pin-drafted roving. The beautiful light gray, undyed Corriedale is flecked with colorful bits of shredded silk. The pin-drafted roving is a dream to hand-spin, and spins up into a stunning tweedy yarn you’ll love working with.00:00 - Intro00:18 - It’s Shearing Day!00:42 - Corriedale Confetti Pin-Drafted Roving01:34 - Shearing montage03:51 - The Shearing Day setup05:39 - Hi from Amanda11:32 - Shearing montage13:47 - The art of throwing fleeces17:41 - Eileen’s Shearing Day duties18:12 - Start to finish shearing: Sped up 4x20:20 - We’re done!Mentioned in the Millcast:* Corriedale Confetti pin-drafted rovingUpcoming events: https://junctionfibermill.com/pages/events * Open House: Sat, March 28* Knit for Food Knit-A-Thon: Sat, April 11* Open House: Sat, April 25
