FEBRUARY 18 -  CHURRO WEEK
Churro Week is an annual event held in Northern New Mexico. During Churro Week, the extended fiber community explores the deep local roots of this livestock and helps to raise awareness about the importance of the Navajo-Churro sheep. The New Mexico Fiber Arts Center / Española Valley Fiber Arts Center (NMFAC/EVFAC) has been organizing Churro week since 2014. It began as a consortium of shepherds, spinners and end-product makers to promote and sustain the Churro fibershed.
Churro Week begins with sheep shearing at Los Luceros Historical Site, including demonstrations and a Churro marketplace. The rest of the week includes presentations, field trips, a lamb dinner, and classes in fleece processing, natural dyeing, Navajo and Rio Grande weaving, felting, colcha embroidery. This important week celebrates the importance of the Churro heritage sheep breed to communities in the American Southwest.
Join Weave A Real Peace (WARP) on Saturday, February 18th at 1 pm US Eastern time for a conversation with members of the Churro Week team. This program is free & open to all.
