A Day At The Harmony Fiber Arts Festival !

Harmony Fiver Arts Festival Shoppers In Stewart Hall
We had a great time yesterday at the 2015 Harmony Fiber Arts Festival & Market and had a chance to meet lots of new fiber friends.  It was an overcast, muggy day, but the visitors were out with their umbrellas enjoying "Springfest" in Harmony.  Wild Rose Farm was set up in Stewart Hall behind the Harmony Museum.  Thanks to the new ownership at recently renovated Harmony Inn for sponsoring a 10% meal discount to folks who made a $10 or more purchase at the fiber festival or other Harmony business yesterday!  We had at least 2 customers who said that they would take advantage of the deal for lunch.  I never got a chance to venture down to the 2nd group of vendors upstairs in the Center of Harmony building ... they were located above the Darn Yarn Needles & Thread Yarn Shop.  Lisa of DYNT was the energizer bunny behind organizing the fiber festival and working with the vendors.  Well done!

 If the hand-spinner who purchased the fleece from Dorset x Rambouillet #135 sees this post, send me an email ... I recently sent a shipment  of wool samples to Yocum-McColl in Denver for micron testing.  I would be happy to forward a copy of her micron test results when we get them back!  
This was a nice well run festival ... sign us up again for next year!  :~)

Yarn For 2015 Harmony Fiber Arts Festival & Market ...

Wild Rose Farm - Naturally Dyed Yarns On The Ironing Board ...
I was tagging some yarn yesterday and took a quick couple of pictures to show what I'm bringing to the Harmony Fiber Arts Festival & Market on Saturday ... along with lots of fine wool combed top, spinning fleeces, and washed wool locks, we'll have these yarns to check out!  The colors are always a bit different than the pictures, but you get the idea!
We Have A Few Skeins Of Lace Weight Yarn Too!
