We will be welcoming back exhibitors with alpacas, sheep, cashmere goats, angora rabbits, and llamas, along with vendors offering fleece, pelts, handspun yarn, hand-knit and hand-woven scarves, gloves, ornaments, shawls, sweaters, and much more. Please contact us if you can bring fiber animals and/or goods made with natural fibers or products related to fiber crafts.
Janet Ambrose will be returning to speak about her fiber mill and her work teaching textile arts at Syracuse University, Kari Shanahan will once again be showing children how to felt wool into marbles, and Mindy Laymon will lead a workshop on needle felting. If you have an idea for a workshop or can join us to demonstrate weaving, dyeing, or any of the fiber arts, please contact us.
Meet and learn about fiber animals, try your hand at felting or spinning, watch experts demonstrate fiber crafts, and do some early holiday shopping for fine hand-made articles. Why not invite your spinning or knitting club to spend an afternoon with us?
Watch this spot for a growing list of attractions for young and old alike!
