They only had three hours to turn sheep fleece into a beautiful shawl that was 78 inches long and 24 inches wide.
Can they do it?
The fleece....
This was daddy's oil can that came with his schwinn bicycle many years ago. Still squirtin' out the oil.....
Meanwhile, I was looking around at the Alpaca store
where you could buy anything from alpaca yarn to socks.
When I came back they were still hard at work.
They finished with a half an hour to spare!
The judges checking it over......
The beautiful shawl....
it was a denim pattern. Each team had different themes.
Faith's team did a denim theme.
The six teams' shawls.....
Out of six teams Faith's team won second place!!
Yay!!
After the youth finished the fleece to shawl
the adults did the SHEEP to shawl.
They had two and a half hours to shear a sheep
and then turn that fleece
into a shawl.
They also had different themes and were auctioned off as fundraisers for different causes.
"You know, a sheep is a very sensitive and odd animal. And you know, a sheep never was asked to manufacture wool. He was asked to bear wool, because he is a sheep. And as long as he is a sheep, he will bear wool, because that’s his nature. And so is it with the Christian church. We were never asked to manufacture fruits. We were asked to bear fruit."

That evening the shawls were auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Their shawl sold for $475!
Of course, it's a fundraiser for the 4-h.
Meanwhile back in the stalls......
the sheep just chewing their cud....
