The last couple days I’ve been working with some really fun, bright fibers. Had to share a few pictures. This 4 ounce handspun yarn skeins are each approximately 100 yards, $28 each or a set of 6 colors for $150. (includes shipping in the United States). They are made from Corriedale Top Wool. Each skein is a #5 Heavy Worsted Weight with a WPI between 6-9. If interested, send an email to info@TheTwistedPurl.com for more details. Thanks!
Our Big Show this summer was in the beautiful country setting of Vermont. The Twisted Purl was honored to be among the talented Artists and Crafters at the Shelburne Museum Arts & Crafts Festival. We saw some absolutely amazing sights while in Vermont.
The above picture is my absolute favorite. We went out to Grand Isle to visit & meet some crafty friends and saw this on the way home. This picture was taken through the car window in between two cars flying past.
We drove in from Arkansas, just me and my youngest two boys. By the time we saw this sign, the boys and I ran out of the car and took pictures (all while jumping up and down). I’m sure we were quite the sight to see. It was so good to be back in Vermont!
My family lives in a farm house that was built in 1786. Talk about old! It is gorgeous. The property is surrounded by a dairy farm, so the cows came and visited us everyday.
The cows weren’t the only fun animals we saw. We also visited a gorgeous Alpaca Farm in Brandon. The Maple View Alpaca Farm & Vermont Fiber Mill. They had an open house and it was amazing to see the BIG machines that do what I do with all my little equipment.
The Art Show was a blast and I really do have a ton more to share but I have to get to work on filling your orders. Will post more tomorrow!
Yesterday was a very productive day! I completed four skeins of handspun yarn plus got in some solar dyeing. Below are the pics from the spastic spinning day.
Above it the fiber soaking in the dye in the hot, humid Arkansas sun. Yesterday it reached 103!
Once my fiber was soaking in the sun I got to work on these new yarns:
We are gearing up for the Vermont Shelburne Museum Art & Craft Festival the end of this month. Hope to see you there!
