New York State Fiber Conference

• Sunday, June 11, 2023, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

This one-day conference is for new and beginning animal fiber producers looking for additional information to make better-educated decisions regarding what species and breed of animal to raise and their efforts to produce, use or market their animal’s fiber. Producers and potential producers from New York State and throughout the Northeast US are welcome to attend.

Conference sessions and panels will cover the following topics: 

• Selecting an animal species/breed and understanding their fiber quality

• Fleece quality with examples of poor, good, and excellent fleeces
• Fiber mills, supply chain, and finished products
