Sheep, Yarn and Quilts show teaches attendees how wool is taken from sheep and used to make a quilt. The Amish use many of these methods in their homes today. The show continues to expand each year. The event includes shearing demonstrations of sheep and alpacas.
The wool will be cleaned, dyed and spun and used in the making of a quilt. Attendees will see loom demonstrations and quilts being made on site. The demonstrations are made to be interactive so those attending can see the process of producing wool and quilts.
Other activities include a laundry demonstration featuring a turn of the century hand washer and wringer. There will also be period crafts, rope making, activities for kids, pony cart rides and a petting zoo. Tours of the 1865 Moses Yoder and 1882 Daniel Schrock homes, Miller-Herschberger barn, Yoder workshop and German School on the campus will feature demonstrations and displays of the Amish way of life.
