ISO WSG Judge!


BAARG is ISO of WSG Judges!




Just FYI, NARBA is reinstating the WSG Sweepstakes starting August 1st.   BAARG is looking to host 2 WSG contests a year.  

BAARG WSG Contest Schedule;
  • 12/31/24 Centrailia, WA
  • 5/2/25  WCC, Reno, NV
Is there anyone interested in judging the WSG Contest?
Do you know of anyone we can recruit?

An ideal WSG Contest judge is one who is well-versed in fiber arts, including the following;
  • Many spinning techniques, crafting techniques including knitting, crochet, weaving, and felting.
  • Has experience with many fiber types both natural and synthetic.
  • Has used many dyes including chemical and natural.
  • Understands the differences in all 4 recognized ARBA Angora breeds as per ARBA SOP guidelines, and understands what makes each Angora breed unique.
  • Has an idea of handle for the 4 breeds and appreciates the appropriateness of yarn and garments made from each breed.
  • The judge does not need to be credentialed.

Note for Potential Judges:
We welcome enthusiasts of all skill levels to participate in the WSG Contest as judges! While the ideal judge possesses extensive knowledge in various fiber arts, including spinning techniques, crafting skills, and familiarity with different fiber types, we want to emphasize that these criteria are not meant to discourage anyone from taking on the judging role.
If you have a passion for wool and an interest in learning, we encourage you to join us as a judge, regardless of whether you meet all the listed requirements. Your unique perspective and enthusiasm for the craft are valuable contributions to our community. Remember, judging is not just about expertise—it's also about sharing and learning together. So, go ahead and embrace the opportunity to be a part of our vibrant WSG community!
