Just a reminder that this is our archived page— please like & follow our new page The Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival— and please make note of Saturday’s time change below! thank you!

Due to the threat of extreme weather overnight on Friday- we are delaying the start of the festival on Saturday from 9am to 10am to allow our vendors more time to set up that morning. Morning workshop times will not change- they will still begin at 9. We appreciate your understanding- the safety of our vendors and all the amazing fiber goodness they are bringing with them is a top priority of ours!!! We will see you at 10am Saturday morning!!

Learn how yarn is made! We’ll talk about how fiber is prepared and spun, and you will get a chance to play with wool cards and different types of spindles as you learn one of humankind’s oldest and most important skills — how to make yarn. You’ll leave this class with both new skills and a renewed appreciation to what goes into making all that beautiful yarn that you love.

We’ll provide the wool, wool cards, and spindles to use in class. This is an absolute beginner class so no prior skills or experience are needed.

Thank you all so much for a wonderful festival! We could not do this without the 100s of hours of volunteer work, the cooperation of the City of Lexington, the fantastic support of our sponsors and the incredible talent of all of our vendors. See you next year!!
