No Coast Craft-o-Rama!

I got in! I got in! I'm so happy to have this awesome oppurtunity. This is a great one day craft sale held in Minneapolis at the brand new Global Market. I went to the event last year and was blown away by the turn out! It was crazy and hard to get around, that's why they moved to a larger venue, I think. So, between Camp Plucky Fluff, Craftstravaganza and No Coast Craft-o-Rama I'll have no problem keeping myself busy. Yeah!

Spinning Camp!


Oh, I am so excited! I signed up for Camp Plucky Fluff with Lexi. Yeah!! It's two days of spinning crazy-fun yarns. It's held at her family's vineyard in Placerville, California. I can't wait! It's September 23rd-24th. I don't know if anyone actually reads this, but if you do and you're a spinner you should join us. Check out Camp Plucky Fluff . Here is a picture from the vineyard!

Jumbo Skeins are great!



This is a big one. I purchased a bunch of Merino at the Sheperd's Harvest Festival. I dyed 4 ounces and spun two singles, which then became this 2 ply skein. It's 328 yards! I've never spun a skein with this much yardage before. It took about 1 1/2 days, and a lot of patience.

Hidden Valley Farm and Woolen Mill


Here are two new skeins. I been spinning everyday in preperation for Craftstravaganza. I like how these turned out, I might not be able to part with the dark one. I purchased these fiber at the Sheperd's Harvest Festival from Hidden Valley Farm and Woolen Mill. I enjoyed spinning her beautiful mix of coopworth and silk. I'll be putting in another order very soon!
