I peeked at the calendar and WOW! It's almost August 13th. Which means for me, and hopefully for you if you live (or are vacationing two weeks from now) in the Greater Boston slash North Shore slash Coastal New Hampshire slash Southern Maine area, it's time for Fiber Revival! Shucks Connecticut spinners, you all come up here too!
There's going to be a Vintage Baseball Triple Header in the back field to keep your partners and kiddos entertained while you shop and hang out with us, and all the usual suspects of a great fiber-filled day with your kind.
Directions, details, and classes are listed on the website, but here's a list with contact links for registration with the individual teachers:
- Knit a One of a Kind Shawl
- Spinning Bulky Yarn
- Knitted Wrap Necklace
- Introduction to Drop Spindling
- Intro to Spinning Cotton on a Support Spindle
Vendors this year are:
- A Loom With a View
- Enchanted Knoll Farm
- Hair of the Dog
- Parker River Alpaca Farm/Wildest Dreams Alpaca Farm
- Pinestar Studio
- Spunky Eclectic
- The Merlin Tree
- The Woolen Rabbit
- The Yarn and Fiber Company
- Yarns in the Farms
We'll have the North of Boston (NOBO) Handweavers Demonstration Tent:
the return of the Ipswich Ale Tapmobile:
And alpacas:
And don't forget the giant shady maples overhead.
You just never know what you might see or learn. Don't forget to bring a chair.
I'll be there this year for the first time. Yay!

I'll be there! (Of course I will, I'm teaching!) And I'll have my new (to me) yellow Paradis with me! :D

That looks divine. It will be a couple months before we're spinning outdoors again!

Still pouting about having to miss it. We must start scheduling our family vacations a tad earlier in the summer.

Hey Julia...I just got home from Sock Summit and the highlight of my visit to the Sock Museum was guess what? Your arrrgyles! I saw them from a mile away and said to my SIL "I know the person who did those!" And then I had to explain that while we never had met blah blah blah.
Anyway. Just wanted to know your socks rated a squeal in Portland.
