A celebration of every facet of fiber — yarn, fleece, and the animals it comes from, plus spinning and weaving gear, pottery, buttons, classes, and demonstrations across one full autumn weekend in the valley.
A wander through the barns and the demos. Tap the arrows or dots to browse.
The Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival fills the Clarke County Ruritan Fairgrounds with makers and shepherds from across the region. Whether you knit, crochet, spin, weave, or felt, you'll find hand-dyed yarn from indie dyers, raw fleece and roving, and the alpacas, sheep, and goats behind the fiber — plus everything from buttons and spinning wheels to pottery, hats, and finished knits.
Classes run Friday through Sunday, with festival memorabilia and the sanctioned Pygora goat & fleece show throughout the weekend. The festival is a registered 501(c)(3) — much of each year's proceeds goes back into the surrounding community.
Please Note: the festival is handicap accessible — see Accessibility under Find the Fairgrounds for details. Pets are not allowed on the grounds, but service animals are always welcome. Winchester, VA is the nearest city for lodging.
