This contest is made possible through contributions from the
Washington
Wool Growers’ Auxiliary, Pendleton Woolen Mills, and other kind sponsors.
Entering the Contest
Entries may be sewn, knit, crocheted, woven or felted and must contain a minimum of 60 percent wool fibers.* Entries are judged 60 percent on how they appear and fit on the contestant and 40 percent on construction (off the contestant). Age categories are Preteen (12 and under), Junior (13–16), Senior (17–24), Adult (25–49), and Adult (50 and over). Preteens compete at district level only.
*To test fabric for wool content, place a scrap in one cup of bleach overnight. One-hundred-percent wool will have no residue left. If any fibers remain, the fabric is a blend. Some finishes and natural fiber content may affect results.
Make It for Others
In the Make It for Others (district-level only) contest, all regular Make It With Wool rules apply regarding content of wool and garment categories. However,
the entrant does not have to model the garment himself/herself.
Instead, the garment must be modeled for the district competition judging and fashion show by the person for whom it was made. Information on the entry form should pertain to the person who constructed the garment, not the model.
