Heritage breed sheep from local farm animal rescue Flat Broke Farm will be losing their winter coats under the expert guidance of shearer John Sanchez. After the sheep are sheared, you can have fun learning how to turn the raw wool into yarn, the first steps to making a sweater.

Volunteers will teach how to card and drop spin wool as rancho workers would have in the 1830’s.

Docents will be on site to give guided tours, so bring a picnic and spend the day at the Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park.
