2020 In-Person Festival is Cancelled 

UPDATE 7-30-2020 

We’re having issues with our Festival Facebook page.

Help us spread the word - we will be holding virtual workshops for 2020.  Since physical space is no longer a limitation, we would like to have more proposals for fiber-related, 1-hour lectures or demos and 2-hour workshops from instructors (US based) who have some experience with online teaching.  

If you’re comfortable with teaching online the sky is the limit - washing and prepping fleeces, ice or solar dyeing, sheep shearing, knitting/crochet techniques or tips are just a few examples. We expect to have integrations for Zoom and other embedded video options to share with learners. 

Despite being apart this year, we hope that our event's popularity and reach will draw in oodles of fresh faces and inspire massive Beginner classes to nurture brand new fiber crafters and teachers to come out of the woodwork and connect at our virtual event. 

Please email workshops@sheepandwool.com for additional info and proposals.

After much deliberation, the DCSWGA board and festival planning committee have decided to cancel the in-person 2020 NYS Sheep & Wool Festival. In its place, we will host a virtual festival online. More details on that to come. If you have any questions, please contact our Festival Manager, Nena Johnson
