Harvest Hill Acres Fall Festival this weekend!

I will be vending my wool and fruit preserves at the North Star Farm Tour booth this weekend at Harvest Hill Acres near Dennison, MN. Newly shorn fleeces from jet black through grays, tawny browns to dazzling white from my Finn x Babydoll flock will be available for reservation for later shipping. The sheep were originally purchased to maintain the orchard, so I like combining the fruit items with the wool at events like this. In addition to the skirted fleeces above, I will have rovings and a few precious skeins of the sock yarn I had made from my flock’s fleeces. There will be multi-species cozy socks (a.k.a. 6Farm Socks) for sale and many activities besides an abundance of wares for your fall shopping pleasure. The weather forecast looks to be perfect, so plan to take a ride and come visit!

Spin In Fiber Event Saturday, April 23 Decorah

I’m looking forward to this Saturday’s Spin-In in Decorah, IA. The Oneota Weavers are hosting the Iowa Federation of Weavers and Spinners Conference at the Winneshiek Co. Fairgrounds. I’ll be vending my Babydolls’ wool as raw fleece, rovings, top, batts (quilt and craft sizes), sport yarn, and felting 4-packs.
There are sessions most of the day for Federation members, but the vendor building will be open to the public from 11:30 to 1:30.  Any Fiber Fiends among you are invited!Fig 2 Display of woolen wares for Tour
