This weekend I went to the Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival. It was great fun. I like to knit, so it was amazing to see all of the booths filled with yarn.
A lot of people spin their wool. It was interesting to learn about that. There is also felting, I don’t know much about that. Rug making with latch hooks. I did that when I was young. I liked this barn with the American flag.
There was a woman who made these pretty pin cushions. She filled them with walnut shell fillings. When I was young, I made bean bag frogs and filled them with bird seed. Her creativity reminded me of this. So cute, a sheep, a fox, a pig, a turtle, etc. She sold kits with instructions on how to make each one. I chose the sheep. The walnut shell filling felt like soft sand.
Of course, there was a sheep that hammed it up for the camera. Adorable!
If you haven’t been to a sheep festival before, venture out.
You’ll have a great time!
