BSG Workshop: Nuno Felt Trellis Shawl Imagine yourself wrapped in a stunning shawl that flows around you. Using hand-painted silk gauze, combined with slight bits of hand-painted merino wool, create a beautiful shawl that is all about a given color palette, with a bit of texture.

Sheep to Shawl which begins at 9:00 am on Friday, 7/5/19. Teams of six, one weaver and five spinners, compete by carding pre-washed fleece, then spinning the fiber and weaving a shawl to be judged when the competition ends at 2 pm that day.

Mark your calendars, you don’t want to miss this, because the Black Sheep Gathering will be back to their regularly scheduled time of the last full weekend of June: June 26,27,28, 2020 and June 25, 26, 27, 2021

Class change: please note that the 'Beginning Spinning: The Magic of Adding Twist' class has had changes. It is now a Friday morning class rather than all day, the registration cost has been reduced to $55 to reflect that change, and the materials fee is $20.

ABSOLUTELY NO FIREWORKS OR NOISEMAKERS of any kind are allowed on the Linn County Fairgrounds or Black Sheep Gathering. If your 4th of July is incomplete without bombs bursting in air, check out the free concert and public fireworks at City of Albany's Monteith Riverpark.

Due to technical difficulties encountered when marking floors, some vendors were moved to new locations. Review the map provided at BSG to make sure you know where vendors are located, especially Duncan Fiber, Kunihiro Pottery, Windsor Farms, Wooly Warren, and Goat & Shepherd.

Just a reminder that the Black Sheep Gathering will be June 26 - 28, 2020. Please mark your calendars if you have not already done so.
