Spring is right around the corner!! To a fiber farmer, spring means longer and warmer days, baby animals, and most importantly shearing season. Shearing is harvesting the very medium that fiber enthusiasts cherish. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to be part of our virtual shearing demonstration with one of our sheep. In this one-hour demo we will engage in a detailed discussion of the shearing process; the animal, the fibers, and the steps that follow that take it from the animal to the yarn. 

This demo will be both fun and educational and as a professional shearer, Tabbethia always looks forward to the opportunity to share her perspective on this fascinating process. As all of our yarn tags say, “Shearing is an intimate process between the animals and myself. My relationship to them is always one of patience and a positive approach… Long Island Yarn and Farm puts a face to the fiber and, through the hand-knit garments people make, connects you to the animals we love.
