We are now taking orders for the 2021 catalog! We found out last year that even though the in-person festival was cancelled, people still wanted a catalog as a souvenir. So while the 2021 Festival will once again be virtual, we have decided to continue our 48-year tradition of publishing a printed catalog. This year’s catalog will contain new artwork and will serve as a guide to our virtual event.![]()

This year, we are accepting online orders for the 2021 catalog by means of a "Buy Now" button on our catalog ordering page, sheepandwool.org/purchase-a-catalog/. We estimate that the first shipment of catalogs will be done around the third week in March. Subsequent mailings will be done once or twice a week.![]()

Classes will be taught via Zoom, and all you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam that is connected to reliable high-speed Internet. Topics include crochet, dyeing, ecoprinting, felting, knitting, spinning, and weaving. Most classes are two or three hours long; there are several classes that consist of two two- or three-hour sessions with a break in between; there is one two-day class which has two sessions each day.![]()

Materials kits are required for some classes. These kits will be purchased directly from the instructor. Ordering instructions will be available in Lessonface once you have enrolled. To allow enough time for the kits to arrive prior to the start of class, registration for those classes requiring materials kits will close on April 3.![]()

Our Sheep-to-Shawl Competition is going virtual this year! The spirit of the Sheep-to-Shawl Competition has always originated from the collegiality of fiber artists gathering together and working toward a common goal–creating a beautiful, woven shawl from the fleece of a sheep. This year, because of the pandemic, we must do things differently than in the past. We still hope to, in a virtual setting, honor the creativity and enthusiasm this contest has always generated.![]()
