At Gale Woods Farm we have a dedicated team of superstar volunteers who are part of our fiber arts program, processing wool and creating fiber products for the Farm Store. The purpose of the Gale Woods fiber arts program is to provide opportunities for all ages and skill levels to experience and learn about the process of wool from fleece to final product. Our goals are to produce fiber for use in Gale Woods programs and for sale in their store while building a community of fiber volunteers. Products for sale include raw fleece, undyed and dyed roving, natural colored yarn, a variety of kits and finished products. Volunteers assist in all facets of wool processing - skirting, picking, washing, dyeing and carding wool. They help prep wool for programming and store sales along with making many of the wet felted products sold in the store. We're always delighted to have new folks join the team for scheduled fiber volunteer workdays. To learn more and start volunteering, contact our Program Coordinator Andi Anderson at Andi.Anderson@ThreeRiversParks.org.
