The Fiber Arts Festival will feature fiber artists of all descriptions. Don’t miss the sheep shearing and Sharon Mays spinning fiber from her live Angora Rabbit. Mother Goose, quilters, knitters, spinners will be entertaining the young & young at heart. There will be vendors of all kinds of fibers, from the common to the exotic, including wool, mohair, angora, flax, alpaca, cotton, silk and even buffalo! Other related items will be for sale, including sweater yarn, spindles, and equipment for all fiber crafting needs. Visitors can bring raw wool or other fibers to be washed and processed by the Wooly Knob Fiber Mill and learn about different kinds of fibers and what to do with them. This is an opportunity to observe fiber artists in a relaxed atmosphere and to purchase their products.
Thank You to Sponsors Pennville Pumpkin Festival and Richards Restaurant.
