| Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest Raffle Table |
The 2021 Waynesburg Sheep & Fiber Fest is in the rearview mirror ... we had a great sunny day and a good turnout. On the raffle table was an antique flax wheel generously donated by one of our committee members. We had a very happy winner at the end of the day! The booths were spread out a bit and we had more vendors who chose to be outside under their own tents rather than in a building. We did miss all of our fleece to shawl contest guild teams, but we expect to have them back next year when we can make more certain plans.

| Wild Rose Farm Naturally Dyed Rambouillet Yarn |
There was a new twist this year at the festival. Lost & Found Pharmacy set up next to the raffle tables and offered a skein winding service with the proceeds going to charity. I took advantage of that and had some superwash skeins wound into balls so now they're ready to go right on the needles. Of all the things that we have going on, there's never enough time to wind the skeins after dyeing into balls, lol.
The "fiber starved" customers were into combed top and several beginning spinners were choosing pencil roving to get started. Note to fleece lovers - the absence of the guild F2S contest teams meant that we have 6 full fleeces left that are available for sale. Contact wildrosefarm at earthlink dot net if you'd like to come out and look at the fleeces!
Looking forward to the 2022 show!
