Fiber Arts Festival
at Castle Farms

July 26 & 27, 2008

If you think of oatmeal when you think of fiber - think again! It’s a shopping extravaganza as Castle Farms hosts more than 50 vendors with hand made goods including sweaters, original lace shawls, hats, mittens, soaps, rugs, knitting accessories, painted yarn, alpaca products, and much more.

While at the festival, you’ll also be able to visit live animals; enjoy interactive demonstrations in weaving, spinning, natural dyeing and felting; watch sheep dogs at work; see how sheep are shorn and visit with vendors who are fiber artists and shepherds in their own right. The popular fiber art fashion show takes place each afternoon. Many of the items in the fashion show are original designs created using fiber from Michigan farms.

Visitors of all ages will enjoy their visit when the animals return to Castle Farms. Admission at the door is $5 per person with children under five free.
