From fleece to fabric! 🐑✂️ Sheep sheering season has arrived at Colonial Williamsburg, marking the beginning of a historic craft tradition. Did you know? After the wool is carefully shorn and skirted, it’s sent to our historic weavers where they transform these tangled masses of wool, as well as flax and cotton, into precise fabrics. This can range from simple linens for shirts and shifts to blankets, towels, dyed wool for needlework, and stout woolens for military uniforms. | Colonial Williams
