Artyarns Sheep & Wool Limited Edition Rhinebeck

At Fab Yarn, we look forward to Sheep and Wool because it's a great time to meet many of you who we usually only see online. Stop in and say hello!

For fiber fanatics, a visit to Fab is a great chance to come see and touch the some of the most fabulous luxury fibers available today, many not available at the Sheep and Wool Festival! Plus find out why Fabulous Yarn is not only the best online collection of great fibers, it's the "best little yarn store in New York."


Sheep and Wool, or 'Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool' or officially NEW YORK STATE SHEEP AND WOOL FESTIVAL is one of the country's premier fiber events hosted every year on the third weekend in October at the Dutchess County fairgrounds. It's a must-see for many with (usually) over 30,000 people attending.


The next Sheep and Wool will be held Saturday-Sunday October 17-20, 2024, with workshops held Thursday/Friday October 17-18 (Sign up in advance, workshops sell out!) and main festival on the 19-20th. For latest updates see the Sheep and wool website.

Fab will celebrate with extended hours 10am-7pm THURSDAY-SUNDAY... and in person shopping! (Yes, there may be lines) or EMAIL FAB to arrange special early/late visit.
