International Back to Back Wool Challenge!
Saturday | April 26 | All Day ~ Starts at 9am!
Join us at San Diego Craft Collective as the San Diego County Spinners (last year's worldwide winner!) compete in the annual "International Back to Back Wool Challenge"--shearing a sheep, carding, spinning and knitting a sweater as fast as they can!
This is an annual event that challenges teams of wool crafters around the globe to create a jumper directly from a sheep's back to a human's back. Each team consists of a blade shearer, a country-of-origin sheep and seven hand spinners (with spinning wheels) and knitters who follow the identical challenge rules and pattern to knit the adult size jumper.
This event includes: live sheep shearing at 9:00 am, vendors, live-timed spinning and knitting of the wool sweater, guided practice with a drop spindle, spinning wheels, knitting machines and weaving demonstrations!
Note: The event will conclude when the team finishes the challenge, between 3-5pm.
