Here are links to two great video podcasts from the Letsknit2gether website.
Sheep shearing in Hudson Valley, NY and More from Hudson Valley Fiber Farm. As part of our public library's summer reading program I will be conducting a program on the art of weaving. Children ages 5 to 12 will be able to make their own woven yarn project, assist in creating a ribbon weaving for the library, and explore both fiction and nonfiction library books on weaving and wool. These two podcasts will expand the teaching by demonstrating to the kids how farm animals are raised, sheared, and the wool is processed. The second podcast shows spinners and weavers. The whole community comes together to celebrate the shearing with a potluck dinner, bonfire and music from members of the local high school band. All ages are present, and men and women alike join in the fiber arts.
