The Connecticut Sheep, Wool & Fiber Festival celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009 and we are growing. The festival started in 1909 by the CT Sheep Breeders Association as a program “to promote the keeping of sheep in Connecticut” by visiting farms and eventually to a one day event held at UCONN. It has evolved and expanded into a premier sheep and fiber festival. This event is a family friendly agricultural and learning experience for the general public as well as shepherds and fiber enthusiasts.
The times for each day at the hook in is currently approximate. They will be updated when the class schedule is released.

People “flock” from all over the country and as far away as Australia and Europe to attend the annual New York State Sheep and Wool Festival held in October at the bucolic Dutchess County Fairgrounds. Attendees include knitters, crocheters, hand spinners and growers of natural-fiber-producing livestock. Although you will find many people who have no interest in the wool and fiber industry who come to the one of the Northeast’s truly unique events.
