Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival

The Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival operates as a three-day event at the Hill Country Youth Event Center in Kerrville. The festival includes a vendor marketplace, instructional classes, and multiple competitions including a fleece show with live sale, handspun skein contest, juried fiber arts show, and timed knitting and crocheting competitions. Attendees can purchase raw fleeces directly from Texas breeders after judging concludes, take classes from visiting instructors, and enter work in juried categories. The format combines shopping, skill-building, and competitive exhibition across wool, fiber, and fabric disciplines. The Texas Fleece and Fiber Festival connects fiber artists directly with Texas ranchers and breeders over three days in the Hill Country. The festival centers on raw materials—attendees can purchase judged fleeces from local farms, handle fibers from different breeds, and meet the people who raise them. Classes cover techniques from farm to finished object, while competitions span fleece quality, handspun yarn, and finished garments. The event operates from a working youth event center in Kerrville, where the focus remains on the full spectrum of fiber production rather than finished yarn alone.
