By Sarabeth Parido

Spring is in full swing, and so is our excitement for the 15th Annual Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival, happening May 17–18, 2025 at Masterson Station Park in Lexington, Kentucky.

Whether you're a longtime fiber enthusiast or simply curious about the world of fiber, art and all things wooly— this event promises a weekend packed with inspiration, learning, and community. You'll find over 60 vendors offering hand-dyed yarns, fleeces, spinning supplies, finished items, and more. Enjoy food from local vendors, see fiber-producing animals up close, and take in Kentucky's vibrant fiber community.

This festival is more than just a marketplace—it's a celebration of craftsmanship, agriculture, and connection. Demonstrations, workshops, and family-friendly activities offer something for everyone. It’s an ideal outing for crafters, makers, families, and curious minds alike.  Cost is $5 at the gate - children 10 and under are free!

Are you looking to expand your fiber knowledge?  Whether you're interested in spinning, dyeing, felting, knitting, or weaving, our lineup of expert-led classes offers something for every skill level. Workshops fill up quickly, so don’t wait—secure your spot and spend a few inspiring hours learning new techniques, connecting with instructors, and growing your craft.
