Fiber Revival at Beck's Mill

Activities begin at 10 am

The event features the very rare running of both the carding machines. The carding machines are dated to 1816 and considered the oldest in the country...only 5 are left to our knowledge & our 2 are the mills originals! The carding machines were restored in 2007-2008 at the Lovett Mill in Tennessee. Many sheep to Shaw demonstrations...sheep shearing, spinning classes, felting classes, dyeing classes, weaving, quilting, hand carding, crochet and knitting.

Washington County Sheep Producers will be serving food.
