Our 4-H Extension office plans an amazing Fiber Fair each year out at the county fairgrounds. It is a wonderful event for children and adults to learn new crafts, visit with other artisans, and purchase yarn, kits, patterns, fiber, and fabric. A variety of classes on knitting, crochet, weaving, sewing and dyeing are offered throughout the day. It is our daughter's favorite day of the year!
Yo-yo Necklace class
Sheep shearing
Cricket Looms set up in the classroom
Spinners from our local guild
I came home with some beautiful merino from the Milkweed Designs booth. I can't wait to take it "out for a spin" this week!
What a fun day!!! Is there a fiber festival nearby you are going to sometime this spring or summer that is open to the public? I would really love to go with you if there is one! Blessings! <3
