Bloomington Wool & Fiber Festival

The Bloomington Wool & Fiber Festival is a two-day event at the Monroe County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, Indiana. A vendor marketplace anchors the weekend, with paid workshops, fiber competitions, and demonstrations running alongside it. What gives this one some extra texture is the animal side: you can meet shepherds and fiber animal breeders, including angora rabbit exhibitors, which connects the yarn on the vendor tables to the animals that produced it. Workshop topics lean into hands-on technique, with offerings like eco-botanical dyeing. Admission and parking are free.
