Shepherd’s Cross, an authentic working sheep farm and Agritourism facility, invites the public to "Woolly Weekend," a premier "sheep to shawl" festival. Located just north of Claremore on scenic Route 66, this three-day event offers a rare opportunity to witness the complete life cycle of natural fiber production in a family-friendly farm setting.
At the heart of the event is the "Sheep to Shawl" demonstration. Visitors can watch as sheep are shorn throughout the day, followed immediately by processing that very fiber. Over the course of the weekend, artisans will comb, spin, weave, knit, crochet, and felt the raw wool into at least two finished shawls.

Event Highlights:
Live Shearing & Demonstrations: Witness professional shearing and wool processing inside the historic Amish-built tour barn.
Educational Opportunities: Short Course Fiber Classes are available for those interested in learning drop spindling, hand carding, needle felting, or weaving.
Family Fun: Children can enjoy a petting barn, the interactive Farm Museum, a four-story observation silo, and hands-on activities including games and a coloring contest.
The Farm Store/Farmer’s Market Hub: Browse handmade crafts from over 90 local artisans, mission-based goods from around the world, and Animal Welfare Approved farm-fresh meats.
