It's Officially A GO!

Being a first year fiber fair I don't think we expected things to run smoothly, but were amazed at a few roadblocks.  Fortunately, the folks in our wee community helped make the right things happen for us (namely liability insurance) and all is a go!

So, we are full steam ahead signing up vendors and advertising.

We want to showcase vendors & fiber artists in the Upper Peninsula and Northern Lower Michigan so if you know anyone who fits the bill, send them our way!

A sneak peek at exciting things to view and purchase at the fair include: 

Fiber:  Shetland roving, Cormo roving, Shetland & Angora roving, English Angora Fiber, Pygora Fiber, Mohair roving, dyed Coopworth roving, and more !

Fiber Animals: English Angora Rabbits, Cormo lambs and maybe a few Shetland sheep (will verify this and update later)

Goods:  Handmade baskets, knit goods, hand woven shawls, hand spun yarn,  beautiful handmade shawl pins, triangle looms, fabric for rag rug weaving....more to come!
