Throughout the weekend, visitors can watch traditional fiber demonstrations, explore fleece from regional farms, and participate in hands-on activities celebrating wool and the fiber arts. Many of these events are free and open to all festival guests.
Watch fiber artists transform raw fleece into a finished shawl in just a few hours. Beginning with freshly shorn wool, participants will spin yarn and weave it into a beautiful garment before your eyes.
