General Information

Virtual competition for 2021!

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.

The changes we are making this year:

– The competition will be Fleece-to-Shawl instead of Sheep-to-Shawl.
– Each team will record their efforts in a video that will be posted on the Festival website.
– The finished shawls will be sent in for judging. A video of the judging will also be posted.
– There will be an online auction of the shawls.

Completed shawls and team videos must be received by April 16.
