A new episode of the podcast dropped last Monday. I thought I would blog a little bit about it in case you missed it.
This new season is all about Slow, Climate Beneficial Fashion vs. Fast, polluting fashion. In this episode, I talk about the fibers that fabric is made from. I talk about the pros and cons of the fibers. Of course there is a call to action should you choose to take it.

Yes, MD sheep and wool is next Saturday and Sunday. So I’m in the middle of packing the truck to get going.
I’m about half done and expect to have it all packed up by late this afternoon.
SOOOO!! I’ll be putting the online shop in vacation mode.
Come to the festival and see us. We are in the Main Building! Our booth is C5. Where’s that? well enter the large open doorway and go into the right aisle. We are the a few booths down on the left. You won’t be able to miss us.
Be sure to show us what you have made with our yarn! It makes our day!!
This season is all about fibershed and slow fashion. I am researching some of the really hard questions about changing our wardrobes over to be more climate beneficial with mindfulness of equity and reducing waste. This first episode is about style. What is your style? Do you dress that way? Especially now as we are going back into the world, how do you want to clothe yourself to reflect your inner beauty?

I’ve added some more items to the shop this week. I’m dyeing up new colors everyday. So keep your eye out on our Instagram account to see all the new colors!!
We’re putting the shop on vacation while we take some much needed time off. The store will be closed starting 3/20 and reopening 4/6. When we reopen, we’ll have lots of new colorways in preparation for Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. Some of these I’ll share before May, so stay tuned for shop updates.
Shop here now through Saturday!!
Last weekend was supposed to be our open studio, but alas we had lots of snow instead!
I’ve been dyeing up lots of new colorways. First up is some new Zephyrette colors. Our zephyrette is a light sport weight blend of baby alpaca (cria), cashmere and silk. It is OH SO lovely!!
I’ve also been adding to the colorways of Sparkly!! And let’s face it, we all need to have a little sparkly in our lives!!
And finally, since we weren’t open this weekend, here is my special yarn that was inspired by Peonies, which are my favorite flower. It is dyed on our Chinook base which is Superwash Merino, cashmere and nylon.
We’ve talked about myths and realities of creativity. How it is our birthright. It is needed for balance. We talked about raising creative kids.

I have never been able to master the long tail cast on. I can’t figure out how long to make the tail. And I either end up with not enough or too much left over. So this provisional cast on is great. It is like making a crochet chain over your needle. Here is a video that shows you how.
