New York Sheep & Wool Festival
Join us for everyone’s favorite New York Sheep and Wool Festival, also known as Rhinebeck!
Knit + Design on the Farm
Welcome to your perfect local getaway! Join us for workshops by knit designer, Tamy Gore and a free truck show, all nestled in the farmland of Washigton County!
CNY Fiber Festival
Battenkill Fibers has a booth at the show both days June 8 and 9. Come see us and drop off your fiber for processing!
We won’t be setting up until early Saturday morning, but if you can only drop off on Friday night, that’s fine, just leave your wool in our empty corner of the tent; and when we get there with the truck on Saturday we will load it up.
We will also be helping with the Cornell Animal Fiber Conference on Sunday June 9 at the Festival. It looks like it will be a great program again this year including a panel discussion on NY Grown and Certified program and the benefits of being a part of it from farm to factory to retail shop. On Sunday afternoon we will be doing a hands on skirting intensive as part of the conference. Pre-registration is required.
