Fleece and Fibre Frolic returning for 2026

10th Mar 2026

Fibre artists, wool growers and craft enthusiasts will gather in Guyra later this month as the Guyra Fleece and Fibre Frolic returns for its second annual event.
The event will be held on March 21st at the Lamb and Potato Festival Pavilion on the New England Highway in Guyra.
Organisers say this year’s Frolic is shaping up to be even bigger after the success of the inaugural event in 2025, which attracted around 100 people throughout the day. Attendees praised the opportunity to access a wide range of fleece and fibre products locally, as well as the inspiration gained from seeing the work of other fibre artists.
Interest in the event has already been strong, with individuals and groups from across the region and beyond confirming their attendance.
A number of new retailers from across New South Wales and south-east Queensland are booked to attend, bringing a variety of goods including fleece, fibre, equipment and finished products. Local wool and fibre growers will also be present, with one of the key aims of the event being to connect local producers with their community.
Organisers said last year’s event demonstrated strong interest in locally grown and unusual breed fleeces, with many quickly finding new homes with fibre enthusiasts.
A key feature of the Frolic will again be the popular “sit and do” area, where visitors are encouraged to bring along their current projects or try something new while sharing ideas and techniques with fellow fibre lovers.
Enthusiast-led discussions and demonstrations will also run throughout the day, providing opportunities for visitors to learn more about a variety of fibre arts. Topics scheduled this year include cleaning wool using Suint Fermentation, using a ‘picker’, discussing an extended breed study, woollen spinning and long draw, fractal spinning and colour and demonstrations of spindle spinning. If these are terms you are unfamiliar with even more reason to come and see what all the excitement is about.
Organisers say the Frolic grew from a desire among local fibre art groups to create a community event celebrating fibre arts while bringing together growers, retailers, makers and the wider public.
Through the efforts of these groups, the 2026 Guyra Fleece and Fibre Frolic will once again highlight the region’s strong connection to wool and fibre crafts.

Going strong for 100 years
