The 2025 Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival offers a fantastic lineup of workshops designed to inspire and educate both beginners and seasoned crafters alike. Whether you're interested in knitting, spinning, weaving, or felting, our expert instructors are here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s what you can look forward to:


A Wide Array of Workshops for All Skill Levels

From foundational skills to advanced techniques, the festival’s workshops cover a variety of topics:

  • Knitting & Crochet: Learn to master the art of creating beautiful garments and accessories with classes ranging from beginner-friendly stitches to advanced brioche and cable techniques.

  • Fiber Prep, Spinning and Dyeing: Discover the magic of transforming raw fleece into vibrant yarns with hands-on workshops in prepping fiber from raw fleece, beginning wheel spinning, and ecodyeing techniques.

  • Weaving: Explore the timeless craft of weaving with workshops that introduce both tapestry looms and floor looms, perfect for anyone curious about this ancient art form.

  • Felting: Dive into the creative possibilities of felting, whether you’re making whimsical sculptures or sweet, functional coin purses.

  • Much more:  From Building your fiber farm to gardening with wool and broom making, we have an array of classes this year that can involve everyone!


Our workshop instructors are skilled artisans and industry leaders who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. Each session is designed to be interactive, engaging, and tailored to meet the needs of participants. You’ll not only gain valuable skills but also the confidence to tackle your next project.


Workshops at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival are the perfect way to immerse yourself in the fiber arts community. Take a break from shopping with the vendor and watching live demonstrations to create something truly unique with your own hands. It’s a chance to meet fellow enthusiasts, share ideas, and make connections.


Spaces for workshops are limited and tend to fill up quickly, so be sure to register early! We offer both full day and half day classes Friday, May 16- Sunday, May 19 to accommodate your schedule.
