It’s an ancient story. The relationship between sheep and Humankind is one of the oldest on record. It began more than ten thousand years ago in the hills of Persia and continues its journey today on our prairies, plains and valleys. Here in the Midwest, our shepherds spin forward timeless traditions and wrap them into our unique history, culture and locale. Each year in May, these keepers of craft come to Shepherds Harvest to share their passion, skill and artistry and open your imagination to what is possible from this ancient relationship between our wool bearers and ourselves. Once a year, this festival provides an open window into the world of sheep, shepherds and all things wool. You can move from practical discussions in the barn to a consult on eco-friendly dyes or spend hours on the whimsical wonders of the textile arts – whatever inspires you most. This festival weaves the shepherds, the artists and the curious minded into one magical moment. And it’s made more powerful because each year’s harvest comes directly to you from local farms and studios. By their hands sheep are brought forth into the world, fleeces are shorn, dye pots are stirred, yarn is spun and magic is formed into the knitted, felted, hooked and woven elements of your life. And like these unique fiber treasures, this festival is one-of-a-kind, each year different from the rest. As you choose which items you’ll take home from this year’s concentration of riches, be sure to enjoy the timeless charm of this once-a year gem and determine your own place in the story of the wool bearers. Enjoy the show! 3 NOTES 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS MAP KEY Festival Schedule 6 4-H Bldg: Fiber Classes Committee Members 7 Bldg A: Demos & Competitions New!

FIBER RAINBOW 2017 (A RE-CREATION OF THE FIBER SANDWICH DEMO FROM PRIOR YEARS) PROCESS: 1. Friday evening – Saturday 10:00am: collect fiber donations from vendors. Fiber donations must be in spinnable form, i.e. batts, roving, rolags, top. No raw or unprocessed fleece. 2. Saturday 10:00am to 12:00pm: guild members sort fiber into 4 oz bags: ½ - 1 oz increments of fiber in a color theme, combo spin idea. See Spin Off Winter 2017, Coordinating Handpaints article pages 76-80. There’s also a (free) video blog on the process made by the author of the article. This process works for any fiber prep, not just handpaints, as long as it’s in a ready-to-spin form. Reasons for changing this process: a. to change up the activity to rekindle interest from volunteer spinners b. to simplify the weighing/bagging process c. to offer more options for spinners d. to (maybe) produce more attractive skeins for auction 3. Saturday 12:00pm to Sunday 12:00pm: spinners create a finished skein in any method they choose. Spinners en- couraged to do at least some of the work at SH in Building A Spin-in area. 4. Sunday 12:00pm to 1:00pm: Silent Auction setup. 5. Sunday 1:00pm to 3:00pm: Silent Auction of skeins. 6. Post-auction: proceeds sent as donation to Heifer International DEMONSTRATIONS PROVIDED: Saturday 10:00am: guild members will do informal demo while color-sorting, dividing and weighing the donated fiber for volunteer spinners Saturday, 11:00am: FORMAL DEMO: how to prepare fiber for a “Combo-spin” as described in the Spin-Off Winter 2017 issue and the PassioKnit Spinner podcast.

  • Mechanical Properties of Unidirectional Epoxy Matrix Composites Reinforced with Scutched Flax and Tow By-Product
    ECCM16 - 16TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON COMPOSITE MATERIALS, Seville, Spain, 22-26 June 2014 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF UNIDIRECTIONAL EPOXY MATRIX COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH SCUTCHED FLAX AND TOW BY-PRODUCT N. Martina*,c, P. Daviesb, C. Baleya aLIMATB, EA 4250, Univ. Bretagne-Sud, 56100 Lorient, France bMarine Structures Laboratory, IFREMER, 29280 Plouzané, France cVan Robaeys Frères, 83 rue Saint-Michel, 59122 Killem, France *[email protected] Keywords: Flax fibers, Scutching, Flax by-products, Composite materials Abstract The decortication of flax by scutching yields scutched flax and tows. In this study, we have compared the properties of composite materials made of scutched flax and flax tows from the same batch. A series of unidirectional epoxy composites were manufactured by wet moulding. Mechanical properties of single fibers and composite materials were measured by tensile tests. The tensile properties of single fibers were in the same range. The tensile properties of the unidirectional composites show a similar evolution of properties versus fiber volume fraction. The results show that tows could be used to reinforce high performance composite materials. 1. Introduction A wide range of plant fibers have been studied for composite reinforcement including hemp, jute, sisal and flax [1]. Among them, flax fibers have excellent specific mechanical properties and are being evaluated as a replacement for E-glass fibers [2,3]. Flax (Linum usitatissimum) is the major plant fiber cultivated in northern Europe, mainly for the textile sector. The structure and composition of flax plants is complex [4,5]. The stems contain fiber bundles embedded in cortex tissues at the periphery. In these bundles, single fibers are grouped together by middle lamellae.

  • What Is FIBER ART a Bit of History
    What is FIBER ART A bit of history The Fiber Art, also called Art Fabric, Texil Art or Textile Art, is a current of Contemporary Art. This artistic expression began with the futurist avant-garde who controversially introduced in their works the most heterogeneous materials. Between 1920 and 1933 at the Bauhaus founded by Walter Gropius, spread in the discipline of weaving, research and experimentation with artificial silk, chenille, cellophane, metal and works by Anni Albers. The Fiber Art was born in the 50s, following the American Expressionism in the USA, Canada, Japan and Europe. The most important moment in the development of this art was in the 60s and 70s. At that time, creativity in the textile field, passes through an expressive and exciting phase: the search goes around and artists produce the more dissimilar works, using many techniques and experimental forms. What is flexible is textiles The field is really vast: yarn, rope, paper, textiles, fibers, not spun, felt, metal wires, plastic, plastic nets, plastic weaving with reeds, herbs, twigs ... everything falls into Fiber Art. Among the techniques there are also included the painting and printing on fabric, made with molds and from different materials: toothpicks, rubber bands, lace used as matrices, with reserves of yarn leaves or herbs, hand- sewn or by machine. Each artist has his own vehicle of expression: installations, weaving with all flexible materials, assemblage of material on sewn layers, with crochet hook or metal wires, knitted with ropes of paper or with newspaper cut into strips and yarns, embroidery on paper or evanescent film etc.

The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
