2019 Make it With Wool Contest

The Make It With Wool Contest has been promoting the versatility,

beauty and wearability of wool since 1947! Contestants of all ages,

from pre-teens through adults, sew, knit, crochet, weave or felt

wool garments, which are judged on quality and presentation. In

Washington, contests are held at six district locations throughout

the state in October. The winners advance to the Washington state

competition, and those winners advance to the national contest!

Through the contests, participants enjoy sharing their creativity and

skills with each other and the public. Friendships are formed,

precious memories are made, and life experiences are gained.

Won’t you join us, and Make It With Wool?!

For more information go to the website: makeitwithwoolwa.com
