The Wisconsin Make It With Wool (WI MIWW) competition is open to all Wisconsin residents and anyone interested in fiber arts fashion and creative design using wool or wool blend fabrics and fibers. MIWW is sponsored by the Wisconsin Sheep Breeders Cooperative and is guided by the National Make It With Wool Program.

Two competitions to enter!

Garment & Novelty

In the garment competition, contestants select wool fabrics and/or yarns to construct a garment and will model their garment at the WI MIWW Style Show. Contestants may spin their own yarn, weave their own fabric, and may receive instructions from parents, teachers, or advisors. All items entered in competition must be completed after the previous year’s competition. Winners of the Junior and Senior divisions compete at the National Make It With Wool Competition in Reno, Nevada on January 29-31, 2026. Novelty contestants may enter both Wearable and Non- Wearable divisions.
