BACK TO BACK INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE! | Saturday | April 26 | 9am-afternoon (when they’re done) Join us at San Diego Craft Collective as the San Diego County Spinners (last year’s worldwide winner!) compete in the annual International Back to Back Wool Challenge–shearing a sheep, carding, spinning and knitting a sweater as fast as they can! This is an annual event that challenges teams of wool crafters around the globe to create a jumper directly from a sheep’s back to a human’s back. Each team consists of a blade shearer, a country-of-origin sheep and seven hand spinners (with spinning wheels) and knitters who follow the identical challenge rules and pattern to knit the adult size jumper. This event includes: live sheep shearing at 9:00 am, vendors, live-timed spinning and knitting of the wool sweater, guided practice with a drop spindle, spinning wheels, knitting machines and weaving demonstrations!
