2023-12-09 10:00 - 14:00 | Windswept Acres Sheep Farm, 173 Whitebridge Road, Pittstown, NJ, 08867
Join us at the Windswept Acres Sheep Shack in Pittstown for your fiber fix. Last Open Farm for 2023 is Dec. 9th 10AM to 2PM. We’re doing demos/ talks which walk you through the fiber creation process from shearing to final products.
-August was shearing (Sue’s son Chris flew in from Montana to shear 4 sheep and explain the process as he worked, to the delight of visitors of all ages).
-September was skirting (the fleeces shorn in August) and washing.
– October was making .Fleece Acorns
– December 9 will be skirting (by popular demand!) as well as hand carding and combing. Informal demos/ talks at 11AM and 1PM.

Cornerstone farms vending and organizing guests, demos and classes are:

Windswept Acres – fleeces, roving, yarn & sheepskins from Sue’s flock of natural colored and white Romney and Dorset sheep, plus NJ Blankets. And meet the sheep!
