Fiber Arts Exhibitors

Welcome to CJ Wool Creations, Formally Kyrgyzkonnection. For the past 12 years we have been creating one-of-a-kind wool hats, scarves, clothing and other wearable art inspired by many unique cultures. We believe wool has a certain magic to it, and we would love to share that with you.

Inspired by the traditional wares of many European countries, Asia and our own USA we have taken those ideas and expanded upon them in unique and artistic directions. We love experimenting and creating one of a kind art pieces that you can wear from hats and scarves, to shawls, jackets and wall art. Drawing from a variety of cultures that inspire us, our clothing has accents of Celtic symbols, petroglyphs as well as traditional designs.

First we obtain only the finest wool from local farmers, fiber shows. We clean, dye and felt our wool. Then we add silk, bamboo and other wools as embellishments for that extra flair. This handmade approach not only makes our wool creations the most comfortable you will ever wear, but will last a lifetime.
Along with being ultra-durable, wool is a very special material that is warm when its chilly, but breathable and cool in the heat.

We have sold our hats at festivals and events all across the country winning numerous awards an accolades. Our clothing and fine-wool art has one best-in-show many times over, but the greatest feeling comes from the people we meet a long the way. We would love to meet you too, so feel free to contact us with any questions or ideas for a wool creation that we can make for you.
