GET READY FOR THE

FIBER TOUR

April 26 – 27, 2025

TAKE IN THE SPRINGTIME SIGHTS ON THIS ANNUAL SELF-GUIDED TOUR OF LOCAL FIBER FARMS AND MILLS.

 

Each farm family showcases their prized pets and offers different free events. Enjoy spinning, knitting, weaving, and felting demonstrations while you visit the animals: alpacas, bunnies, goats, sheep and lambs, llamas, and more! Plus, take home your favorite items. Many farms have handspun and dyed yarns, unique woven and knitted items, and high-quality fleeces for sale.

FIBER “GROWN” HERE

Ever see sheep dotting the Washington County countryside and think to yourself, “They could help me with my next knitting project”? We do!

While it doesn’t make up as much of the market as dairy and meat production, there are dozens of fiber farmers in our county. It’s a wonderful, sustainable way to make use of animal wool and hair that must be removed anyway. Plus, once spun, it can be used to create high-quality heirloom goods. What’s not to love!

EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING FIBER!

The farms are open both days 10 -4 (unless noted otherwise). Visit alpacas, bunnies, goats, sheep and lambs, llamas, and more – on the farm; and meet the farmers and their families. Watch spinning, knitting, weaving and felting demonstrations. Learn about raising the livestock and pets that we cherish.
