Spinning on the Farm
/I spent yesterday at Spinning on the Farm, an event hosted by the Sonoma County Fiber Trails. Beautiful location, great weather, fun people. It's hard to know what to take to an event like this. It's only one day and it takes a lot of time to take apart my whole shop, box it all up, load it, set up the booth, take it all down, load the trailer again, put it all back in the shop. Is it worth taking it all? I find that there is usually no one big seller and I usually sell a little of everything so that's what I take.
Isn't that a beautiful backdrop for a booth? I brought dyed Merino roving, silk/merino fiber and scarf kits, latchhook pillow kits, notecards, and books...
...WoolPets felt kits, Thomas Joseph notecards and buttons, and spinning tools...
...wool socks...
...yarn...and much more.
Spinners get their gear to and from the parking lot by tractor hay-ride.
What group of spinners gets together without thinking of food? As always, the potluck was delicious.
Spinners spend the day spinning, knitting, eating, visiting, and shopping in this beautiful setting above the Russian River.
