Description:

From Sheep Shearing Day Website:

In pioneer Appalachia, farmers sheared their sheep each spring for wool to spin into yarn or fill quilts.

The Museum of Appalachia, a Smithsonian Affiliate Museum, renewed this annual ritual on Friday, April 25, trimming the winter's growth of heavy wool from its flock of sheep.

The wooly animals were trimmed by Kentucky native John Cooper, who explained the process to onlookers while using vintage hand-cranked shears operated by "student power."
