design. Christian Herr of the Wool
Wizards won the champion shear-
er’s award. The Hill and Hollow
Handspinners won the fleece
award and the premium spinning
group award.
The sheep to shawl contest is
exactly what it sounds like. In a
little less than two hours the vari-
ous teams sheared, combed, spun
and wove a sheep’s protective
coating into a garment generally
associated with little old ladies in
rocking chairs.
The crowd was also entertained
throughout the evening by the bag
pipe sounds of pipe major Bruce
Altschuler. Then - while the
judges were tallying the scores to
determine the winner - Tom Hor
ton and Billy Klinghorn per
formed Shearing Through the
Ages, a demonstration of tools
used throughout the ages to shear
sheep.
The judges made their decisions
based on shearing skill and speed,
uniformity of spun wool, design
originality and difficulty, lack of
weaving errors, and speed. The
