Have you gotten your daily fiber allowance? It doesn’t really matter how you get it. You can raise fiber animals – sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas, angora rabbits. You can spin, knit, crochet. You can dye, weave, embroider. You’ll still be flexing your creative muscles while bringing a little peace into your life. Does doing craft projects relieve stress? Intuitively, we know that it does. There seems to be something calming about the simple repeated movements involved in creating something beautiful – like knitting, crocheting, or weaving. Frustrating day at work or school? Try a few minutes with your needles and hooks. How about some meditation at the spinning wheel or the loom? Of course, learning a new technique or tackling a complicated pattern can have its own challenges, but that’s why we keep the plain vanilla sock (or scarf) around. What’s new at SAFF for 2017? Shopping can be a stress reducer, right? Some of your favorite vendors are back, but there are plenty of new ones too. With the more established vendors in the Davis Arena, there are some serious up-and-coming fiber artists in Barn F. Look all around SAFF for lots of free demonstrations too. In addition to the excellent open judging of both wool and mohair fleeces, we are featuring a special alpaca fiber show. People who raise these special animals have an opportunity to enter 2 ounce alpaca show – to be judged just for spin-ability. Want to keep the creative juices flowing? Learn something new! A new skill, a different teacher, a different method can all meet our daily fiber needs. Challenge yourself by taking a few minutes every day to practice your new skill as you become proficient. We have a special Sunday treat for you. It’s mighty hard to be uptight while you are watching beautiful and spunky border collies herd sheep. Come down to the Covered Arena (for you long-time SAFF aficionados, it’s where the sheep used to be) north of the McGough Arena. Watch Dwight Parker put his remarkable dogs through their paces. While you’re there, go pet some sheep and goats next door in the McGough. Watch the sheep show. Visit some bunnies. We’ve waited all year for our fiber fix. Revel in the excitement, the community, the learning, the joy and the peace that you find in your creative outlet. Get your daily fiber allowance – we’ll all be healthier and happier!
