The Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival, held in September, announced it has changed its name to the Adirondack Wool and Arts Festival.
\nOfficials said the event will continue to offer the public education on the products produced in fiber arts, raw fleece, roving, spinning supplies, needle felting, dyes, yarns, and items needed to knit, crochet, and weave.<\/p>\n
