January 16, 17, & 18, 2025 – Thursday, Friday, & Saturday
8:30 am – 3:30 pm

Ever been curious about how fiber is processed and how to do it yourself? Try our Fiber Fest Weekend Retreat. We spend three days learning how to process any kind of fiber (we teach with wool). Includes washing, dyeing, wet felting, carding, picking, spindling, spinning, needle felting, and weaving and some history of fiber arts with practical technology. Great skill to add for homesteading, being able to process wool from your own sheep to make your own natural items.

Each participant will make and keep multiple projects.
Virtual or onsite

Retreat fee is only $297 (all three days); all materials provided.
Any single day of the Retreat is available for $99 per day.

Retreats are augmented by hands on learning tools available in the Educational Farm Museum and with a collection of fiber arts from around the world.

Registration is required. Information and registration form is online or call 918-342-5911.

Shepherd’s Cross offers these classes year-round, on an individual or group basis. Shepherd’s Cross is an accredited Agritourism facility, an Oklahoma Museum Association member, and a Made in Oklahoma Company that processes Animal Welfare Approved fiber (that is chemical free, hormone free, free range, all natural). Shepherd’s Cross hosts a mini wool mill, processing the wool from their own sheep raised on site.

Heart of the Shepherd is a non-profit organization (501-C3) that operates at the farm and establishes wool mills in remote, impoverished areas around the world. Heart of the Shepherd teaches Biblical references to the harvest, the animals, farming, and gardening.

Shepherd’s Cross and Farm Shop is open Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 – 5:30, year-round (closed some holidays).

Shepherd’s Cross holds three Fiber Fest Weekend Retreats a year: January, June, and August.
