Sandee and Christiane went to The New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Festival on Sunday. They couldn't keep their hands out of the wool!
End of the World Farm displayed this gorgeous Cardigan Sweater Pattern made out of worsted weight yarn. We will be carrying this yarn and pattern in the near future.
We will also be carrying their Tencel from End of the World Farm
Neysa Russo from Bradford, VT of The Spinning Studio shows off one of her rugs. It is just gorgeous. They carry a variety of fibers, silk reeling kits and silk mawata kits. Her father Patrick builds, repairs and repairs or replaces broken or missing parts on new and antique spinning wheels. They can be reached at patrusso@myfairpoint.com.
Here is Neysa demonstrating Mauri Dai and Tama (bobbins). This is used for japanese ribbon making. All the braiding on the above rug was done using this fascinating tool.
Equinox Farms from Hopkinton, NH raise and sell alpacas from the "dark side". They were so beautiful and all of them had wonderful temperaments. The fine folks at Equinox Farm are having an Open Farm Day on Sunday May 23rd 10-4pm.

Alpacas!
We were so happy...even after a day of cold and wild wind! We had so much fun checking out all the vendors and discovering new yarn. We met some really nice fiber enthusiasts. It was so exciting looking for new items for the shop. This was such a great festival...just the right size with enough variety to be exciting.
