2025 Sheep to Sweater Challenge at the Wentworth House
April 27 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
From Sheep to Sweater with the Granite Web Makers
Cheer on the Granite Web Makers, one of three official USA teams in the 2025 International Back to Back Wool Challenge, as they shear a sheep, spin the wool into yarn, and knit a sweater all in one day!
The event will begin at 9am with sheep shearing, followed by a day of spinning and knitting. In addition, many handcrafted woolen items will be raffled off, with 100% of all raffle proceeds and donations going to support Amy’s Treat. Demonstrations of sheep shearing and spinning will take place throughout the day, along with other activities, until the house closes at 4pm.
DATE: Sunday, April 27, 2025
TIME: 9:00 to 4:00
Items made from handspun yarns and knitted by team members will be raffled off, with 100% of all raffle ticket sales and donations going to support Amy’s Treat.
About the Granite Web Makers
The team will consist of a blade shearer, a country of origin sheep, and seven spinners/knitters who will follow the Challenge rules and pattern to knit an adult size sweater, all in one day!
In addition to sharing their love of wool, the Granite Web Makers will be raising money for Amy’s Treat, a nonprofit organization which supports Seacoast area cancer patients by providing solutions to the day-to-day difficulties of living with cancer and offering unexpected “treats” to renew the spirit.
