Be a winner with wool – enter the annual Make It With Wool contest. Sponsored by the American Sheep Industry Association, the competition is intended to promote the beauty and versatility of wool fabrics and yarns. Anyone can enter to win awards and prizes on both the state and national level, including fabrics, equipment, sewing books, notions, cash prizes and scholarships.
Categories include one-piece garment, two-piece garment, ensemble (3 or more garments worn together at one time), and wearable accessory. Garments must be constructed from 100% wool or a wool blend. The entire garment body must be wool, however linings, interfacings, and trims may be fabrics other than wool.
Entries will be judged based on appropriateness to the contestant’s lifestyle, coordination of fabric/yarn with garment style and design, contestant’s presentation, construction quality, and creativity. Garments must have been completed after January 1, 2009, and entries must be received by November 1, 2009.
