The Wool Market is the largest natural fiber show in the country. The first two days are dedicated to workshops covering spinning, weaving, knitting, and felting for all levels of experience. The second two days, hundreds of animals are shown and judged. All types of fiber animals are here llamas, alpacas, rabbits, goats, and sheep - both natural colors and white. We have shown llamas over the years and still get caught up in the excitement of the weekend.
