It’s been a while since we’ve had a spinning gathering and we hope to see many of you there! We have acquired a Patrick Greene Cottage Industry Carder that we can demonstrate for you. We have a nice supply of batts and roving available, both natural and hand-dyed. Let us know if you plan to come!
Barn and Fiber Sale August 21-23

We’ve recently acquired the stash of two fiber enthusiasts that includes a wide variety of equipment, ranging from spinning wheels to carders to yarn and knitting needles. Items will be priced to move! We also have a moving sale happening at the same time, as we welcome family members to the farm! We’re looking to downsize and would love your help in making sure that items (including furniture) go where they’ll be appreciated and used.
