Our mission with the Art Equals Woolly Fest is to support our local creators, from the farmers who raise beautiful fleece, to those who use all kinds of fiber materials to create amazing textiles and handicrafts. We want to bring everyone together in one space to meet, connect, learn, share, and be inspired. Whether you’re a knitter, weaver, dyer, or someone just interested in our local fibershed, this festival is the place to meet some people dedicated to keeping the fiber magic alive.

Woolly Trinket Trade!

Create mini fiber treasures to trade with other fiber enthusiasts during the Woolly Fest event. Think baseball cards for those who love fiber! Whether it’s an embroidered badge, a mini granny square, a tiny felted flower, or what ever else you imagine, make a bunch and trade them with others. The trading gallery will be located on the second floor, so connect with other traders there or get a sticker at the Art Equals table to let others know you’re up for trades!
