Live sheep shearing, yarn spinning on display
Live sheep shearing and yarn
spinning — how wool clothing
gets made — has changed little
over the centuries and will be
on full display at Sheep to
Shawl from noon to 4 p.m. Sat-
urday, Sept. 29, at the San
Bernardino County Museum.

fiber clothing, artisans start

Sheep/Wool.
Members of the local 4-H
program will demonstrate how
