  • Google Calendar ICS

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!

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.
