Sheep to Sock 2025: "Shear Bliss"

Heritage NL, along with our partners the Sheep Producers Association of NL, NONIA, and O'Brien Farm Foundation, had a great time at our annual Sheep to Sock event.

We had sheep, a silent auction, and demonstrations of several traditional crafts including Heritage NL's braided rug workshop.
