Visit Fiber Frolic Maine part 2

Then I visited Buckwheat Blossom Farm from Wiscasett, Maine  and found her having her Coop worth sheep  wool dyed with indigo , a calm grey blue ,like fog on the coast .
Another great color for my shawls and wraps . Talking with her made me feel confident that we could work together to make beautiful items .
Here you can find them on Instagram Buckwheat Blossom Farm 

There is so much more to find so I recommend getting there to see for your self !
