The Pennsylvania Make It With Wool (MIWW) Contest will take place on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the PA Preferred Banquet Hall at the Farm Show Complex, 2300 N. Cameron St., Harrisburg. The contest is open to individuals age 8 and older who sew, knit, or crochet garments with wool or other animal fibers.

There are three categories for individuals under age 25, along with a category for adults age 25 and older and a Made for Others category for which the model and contestant may be of any age.

Expert judges will handle the garments and meet with the contestants. Judging will be based on several criteria, including appropriateness to the contestant's lifestyle, fit and overall appearance, coordination of fabric/yarn with garment style and design, the contestant's presentation, construction quality, creativity in design and use of wool, and how well the entry conveys and promotes the beauty, comfort, and versatility of wool. All fabrics or yarns used in the body of the garment must be 60% or more animal fiber.

Registration is due by Tuesday, Sept. 5. There is a registration fee, plus an additional testing fee per fabric or yarn used. For a registration form and more details, contact Linda Siegel at 717-274-1197 or linda@lebaweb.com. For additional details, visit http://www.makeitwithwool.com.
