Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival - In Person!!!
9/8/21 Update: Festival Committee has decided not to have a live event this year after all, due to concerns about Covid. Stay posted for virtual event details.
We resume in person festivals at last! I’ll be at the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival at the fairgrounds in Tunbridge, VT, in the main vendor building, as per usual.
I’m so excited to finally get to be face to face with all of you again after such a long hibernation. I will have lots of new yummy yarns in natural and naturally dyed shades. There will be roving and batts for the spinners. There will be sheepskins, organically tanned in Vermont, from my farm and from neighbor John’s Holmestead Farm.
Everything in my booth is lovingly raised and crafted in Vermont, by Vermonters. We are Vermont strong!

NETA SPA - Freeport, Maine
I am excited to announce that Gilead Fiber Farm will be vending at the NETA event SPA in Freeport, Maine in February 2020. I have been attending this event off and on for many years, and love the time to gather with fellow fiber fanatics. To have been chosen as a vendor for this event is a highlight for this small farm. I am working hard to bring new millspun yarns and rovings, along with loads of hand dyed and handspun yarns, hand cranked batts, and some handknit items for your shopping pleasure.
I look forward to seeing you there! Come say hello and fondle some fiber.

Arnold Block, Art & Appetizers Program - Drop Spindle Spinning for Beginners
Spinning wool can be a relaxing, meditative, and therapeutic activity. If you've ever wanted to try your hand at spinning your own yarn, this class is for you. We will learn to spin a single-ply yarn on a cd drop spindle. Drop spindles and fiber are provided, but if you have a spindle of your own or some fiber that you'd like to work with, bring it and we will get you spinning. There will also be a follow-up class 3 weeks after this one that will cover a variety of plying techniques, so you can learn to make just the yarn you want for your knitting, crocheting, and weaving projects. Note: Kristen will also bring extra dyed roving for sale should students want more.

We'll cover mordants, making the dye baths, additives to change the hues and more. Come have some fun with us.
