Taos Wool Festival

This past weekend we visited Taos, for the 34th wool festival.

This has become an annual trek for us.

There's quite a bit going on:

  • An Outstanding regional wool market featuring more than 60 Juried Artists, Crafters and Vendors offering their wool, fiber, yarns,
  • Fiber arts-related tools and equipment as well as finished items and other artistic, fiber creations.
  • Fiber Critters Corner that includes live sheep, alpacas, goats, angora rabbits, and more.
  • Demonstrations of spinning, dyeing, shearing sheep and many other fiber related skills.
  • Juried Shows for handspun yarn, hand dyeing, fleeces (wool and alpaca), and finished garments and home accessories.
  • Silent Auction featuring many unique donated items.
  • Hands-On Activities for kids of all ages.
  • Workshops before the festival weekend.
  • Food vendors offering a variety of beverages, snacks, lunch items including regional lamb, and other delicious choices.
  • With the added ambience of live music, the festival is unique and fun for the whole family.
