The Baaahd Girls to Demonstrate Sheep to Shawl Talents at Schuylkill County Fair


The Baaahd girls, a team of Sheep to Shawl participants based in Schuylkill Haven, have made the team.

Like the Olympics, The Baaahd Girls are demonstrating their talents at the Schuylkill County Fair. 

So, what are The Baaahd Girls? A team from the Walk-In Art Center Fiber Arts Guild in Schuylkill Haven. They are a team that takes the coat (fleece) from a sheep and turn it into a wearable art form, who are preparing for the 2025 Pennsylvania Farm Show Sheep to Shawl Competition. 

The team takes the wool (fleece) from a sheep, prepares the wool, spins the wool, and weaves the wool into a shawl. 

The team can be found at the Schuylkill County Fair on July 30, indoor midway starting about 4 PM.

Pictured members are Mary Seay, Kris Amey, Margie Wright, Brenda Duncan, Kim Morgan and Lorraine Felker.
