Fiber will be celebrated during an annual event today in Perry.

Organizer Ashley Anderson says the Fiber Festival of Perry will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hotel Pattee, Soumas Court and Atelier at 1109. She adds that this year’s theme, the Wool Done It? Series, is based on The Sheep Detectives movie and Leonie Swann’s book “Three Bags Full.”  

Anderson details that children can solve a mystery by hunting for letters in the downtown area. If they can spell out who took Mopple the sheep, they can take $2 off their movie ticket to The Sheep Detectives at The Perry Grand Theater and will be entered in to win a gift basket.

In addition to the mystery elements, Anderson shares that over 20 vendors will be selling yarn and handmade products inside the Hotel Pattee. Sheep and wool producers will also be set up outside in Soumas Court. 

The Perry Piecemakers Quilt Guild will have quilts on display in the lower level of the hotel and free T-shirt printing will be available at Atelier at 1109. Anderson explains that attendees can bring in their own blank T-shirt and can pick from four sheep designs to be printed for free. 

She encourages area residents to come to today’s fiber festival.

“There’s a lot of finished product that we’ll have this year, as well as just a lot of yarn. Whenever you go to a fiber festival, there’s always tons and tons of fluff you can buy and squish. Twisted Sunset Sisters Fiber Mill, a local Perry vendor, will be in the hotel also so you can talk to those ladies about their whole process. Besides the quantity of vendors and just the wool producers out in the courtyard, it’s just a great way to kind of get introduced to fiber.”
