FALL FIBER FUN!

posted in: Newsletter 0

Almost a frost this morning, winter will soon be nipping at our heels. But not yet.

Vibrant autumn landscape with colorful fall foliage, green meadows, and grazing sheep, showcasing natural beauty and serene countryside scenery perfect for yarn and textile inspiration.

This weekend is the MAINE FIBER TOUR AND TRAIL, with lots of locations open around the state hoping to educate, entice, or simply offer a glimpse of a life with less plastic and more wool power (or other fiber).

I will be at my usual corner at the Bath Farmer’s Market on Saturday, with FIRST QUALITY DISCOUNT NAPPER BLANKETS ($100 discount, while they last), as well as sweaters and yarns and free patterns with yarn purchase. Seacolors Yarnery at Meadowcroft Farm will be open 10-3 on Sunday and Monday, offering Fun Soap felting just in time to make all your easy Holiday gifts, and spooky critter felting just in time to decorate.

I will set up in the FiberShed Sun 13/Mon 14 from 10-3 offering help to “Design your own Sweater” kits, or have us make your own One-of-a-Kind. This is a repeat of last year, and an opportunity to get fitted with colors and size exactly as you want. There will also be discounted blankets and all the soft woolies for sale, including awesome offerings from THIS SUMMER’S OTHER, LOCAL, SPECIAL GUEST STARS!
