Enjoy Another Summer Day Visit the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival
Enjoy A Summer Day at the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival 2022
The Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival is baaack! Ewe that was a bad pun. If you are thinking a circular pen where abled farm hands direct a prized sheep or ram in circle you are only partially correct. But the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival is also Weaving, felting, knitting mittens, creating yarn, how to dye scarves, sewing for fiber artists, woolen spinning and those are just the classes.
The four day celebration of wool and sheep is also "Art Under Our Feet," an artistic collective known as The Cream City Rug Hooking Guild displaying their woven creations. There is
the “Make It With Wool” Competition where adults and young fashion designer compete for a Grand Prize of $100. Entrants will include clothing woven, crocheted, and felted and ranges from shawls, and scarves to sweaters and hoodies.
There is of course the more traditional agricultural events such as Hall of Breeds & Sheep Shows, sheering demonstrations. And be sure to check out the Fleece Show & Sales ----
