Black Sheep Gathering

The Black Sheep Gathering, Inc. (BSG) organizers welcome fiber enthusiasts, breeders, volunteers and newcomers, to our annual “coming together. We meet to discuss breeding and raising colored sheep and goats, share our knowledge of fibers and spend time with folks in the natural colored sheep and wool community.The event includes many breeders of sheep and Angora goats; a large marketplace offering a diverse supply of fiber and related foods from independent vendors; several educational talks and demonstrations; a sheep herding exhibition Saturday; a fleece competition and sale with hundreds of quality handspinning fleeces; and the always popular spinners' circle

9am - 2pm A sheep to shawl contest involves multiple teams that shear a sheep, spin the fleece into yarn, ply the yarn, and then weave it into a shawl. The winning team is judged on a combination of time and quality and difficulty of the design.
