Sheep to Shawl: A Week in the Making

Monday, June 1, 2026 · 4:00 p.m. · Scotsville School of Crafts

Local weavers demonstrate the traditional process of transforming raw fleece into finished textiles over the course of a week.

This week-long program at Scotsville School of Crafts demonstrates how raw fleece becomes finished textiles, featuring live demonstrations of washing, carding, spinning, and knitting or weaving. You'll see one of the original competition sweaters and learn how the Lake Ainslie Weavers and Craft Guild completed the full process in under 9 hours to win top Canadian honors in the International Back-to-Back Wool Challenge.
