THE BLACK SHEEP GATHERING by birchy99
Every year toward the end of June all the black sheep gather at the Lane County Fairgrounds. And not only black sheep, but white sheep, goats, alpacas and even rabbits; anything that produces wool. Spinners, weavers, knitters, etc all gather to hone their woolen skills.Dozens of animals are on display, conformation competition, herding displays, lessons in knitting, spinning, washing, dyeing and whatever else you can do with wool.
This year Mrs. B. decided she would attend and even take an all day class in yarn dyeing. She also threatened to come home with an Angora goat, but changed her mind since they seemed, at least to her, dirty. But she loved looking.
Wool affectionados from all over the US and perhaps the world make a point of attending this three day affair. It also takes place at the same time as the Oregon Bach Festival in Eugene so you can do two things in one weekend.
