Fiber Festival Season Begins!


Have you ever been to a fiber festival? If you love “all things yarnie” then you don’t want to miss this experience! Fiber festivals are held all over the country, and many take place during the spring and summer months. If you crochet, knit, spin, weave, love to touch yarn and learn new things, make it a point to visit a festival near you.

I recently went to the Fiber Arts Festival in Jay County, Indiana and had such a good time walking around and learning new things, I thought I would share some photos with you.

Lots and lots of yarn and fibers to touch!

Classes were offered and you could watch demos of spinning and sheep shearing, too.

Shearing the sheep is like giving them a hair cut; it doesn’t hurt them, but they aren’t really all that happy about it!

It was hard to resist these cute little guys!

It’s fascinating to watch wool fibers being spun into yarn on a spinning wheel. I learned so much about spinning wheels, weaving looms and felting, too.

Check out this list of fiber festivals to find one near you. You’ll have a fun day and may just come away with a new hobby!
