A Color Recap
A week ago Saturday was Color: A Fiber Festival. A festival that I hosted along with friends and vendors A Verb for Keeping Warm, Girl on the Rocks, Pigeonroof Studios, and Tactile. It was a warm sunny day, just perfect for some fiber, knitting, spinning, and weaving fun.
The morning started bright and early with setting up our main room.
The show got underway at 10 am and we had people waiting to get it!
This is what Krista's roving looked like after 30 minutes! Trust me, there was a whole lot more there when she started. I think Kathleen was the lucky one to get the last of the roving.
Thankfully, Krista did have some sock yarn to sell for the rest of the day. :)
We held 8 different classes through out the day; 3 drop spindle, 3 fiber tastings, and 2 how-to weavettes.
Brooke and Kristine introduced 30 people to spinning. Yea!

Our new spinners!
The fiber tastings focused on rare wool breeds, exotic fibers, and cellulose fibers and blends.
Fibers...
+ spinning = way too much fun!
So many fibers, so little time!
Karrie brought along her weavette looms and shared a new addiction skill.
Many folks came just for the opportunity to knit and spin with others.
Ah, ladybugs! I wants one.
Socks!

All I can say is that I can not wait for out next Color!
