The farm & studio yarn shop is open on Fridays from 11am until 4pm. Note re: first 2 Fridays in October - I’m open but preparing to take all the yarn and fun stuff to the NY Sheep and Wool fest. (So I’ll pick up knit circle post show.)

Hay wagon time. Family did great. 118 bales off the wagon and into the barn! Hard work but a good feeling! #fiberfarm #farmlife #endofsummer #haywagon #farmraisedyarn #wedidittogether #sheepandgoats #woolandmohair

So excited to be an Entrant. This time I’m not a vendor or a judge; I’m just a good ole fashioned fiber enthusiast entering hand spun yarn in the fair.
Also all of my entries have fiber raised on my farm, I did the dye work and carded locally.

This past Friday, Open Shop, we did a special Lap-Style Weaving day. Folks came, some with looms, some from here. We demonstrated ours, tried all, we favorited all, we had fun.
