    North Jersey Fiber Arts Festival 2016

    Had a great time at the North Jersey Fiber Arts Festival in Ridgewood this week. I met so many interesting and kind people (vendors and attendees!).  Here’s a pic of my setup thanks to Wendy “Clay” who does gorgeous clay buttons and yarn bowls!

    Dancing Waters Farm at NJFAF 2016 Ridgewood, NJ

    I got to show quite a few youngsters (and their parents) how to make yarn starting from a sheep/ goat haircut.   Lots of felters and a few hand spinners attended.  Weather was gloomy outside but we were pretty lively inside the building!
