Saturday | April 26 | All Day ~ Starts at 9 a.m.! Join us at San Diego Craft Collective as the San Diego County Spinners (last year's worldwide winner!) compete in the annual "International Back to Back Wool Challenge"--shearing a sheep, carding, spinning and knitting a sweater as fast as they can! This is an annual event that challenges teams of wool crafters around the globe to create a jumper directly from a sheep's back to a human's back. Each team consists of a blade shearer, a country-of-origin sheep and seven hand spinners (with spinning wheels) and knitters who follow the identical challenge rules and pattern to knit the adult size jumper. This event includes: live sheep shearing at 9 a.m., vendors, live-timed spinning and knitting of the wool sweater, guided practice with a drop spindle, spinning wheels, knitting machines and weaving demonstrations! Note: The event will conclude when the team finishes the challenge, between 3 p.m. - 5 p.m. Visit: International Back to Back Wool Challenge! San Diego Craft Collective on Instagram and Facebook
