MAINE VILLAGE WEAVER

I was able to go to Fiber Frolic up in Windsor Maine yesterday, it is still going today Sunday June 2 2019 . If you can , go to it. Maine fiber farms are alive and well and could use more business to keep them going . Packing up to be there away from their animals is a big deal . There were booths there stocked with precious skeins of yarn ,roving , fleeces and sheepskins Lavender was on the wind from the Lavender grower there. Soap, rug hooking , and patterns A few animals on display to keep the young and old entertained. I went on the hunt for the farm that grew , spun and bonus!  dyed their yarn . That’s what I want  to work with . Mark and Carrie from Waggin Tail Farm in Pittsfield , Maine www.waggintailfarmme.com I found Alpaca yarn dyed with madder

My Burnt Orange Poncho of Hand woven cotton bamboo and locally sourced alpaca yarn is on my website .Limited production so when it is gone ....  These are yummy to the touch and full of eye catching texture. When walking around Venture Ca I on a recent visit I was stopped and commented on my poncho . “Lovely color and texture” were the comments.  Close up of Burnt Orange Poncho  Click link to go to web site  Burnt Orange Poncho and shawl
