From Wool to Dryer Ball - Preschool Version!
Have you ever been on a weekend drive and found some place that is really unique, fun; some place you want to keep a secret?
Young Learners at Fanno Farm House Preschool recently had a chance to go hands-on with wool from Lambs Tales Farm. We were thrilled to supply these eager youngsters with high quality raw wool for their wool to dryer ball activity.
They had a great time working together to wash & hang the wool to dry. Choosing dye colors, picking the dyed wool, carding with a carding machine, and finally felting the wool into dryer balls!
Special thanks to their teachers & parents for sharing photos of the activity!
Fresh Wool is here

Our sheep have been shorn! It’s officially Spring now :)
We will have fleece available until we start processing them. If you want a fresh pelt, contact us ASAP!
Our wool starts as a pelt, is hand combed or carded, then potentially spun into yarn as the finished product. Often we pause after carding and work with the roving instead of spinning it down into yarn.
Here’s a fun video on how to make your own carding board.
