Connecticut Sheep and Wool

Img_1141It’s a small festival, but fun.  I saw lots of Ravelers (sorry, I’m lame with names and links today) and plenty of good looking fellows like this.

I came away with a few ounces of handpainted silk hankies, and three ounces of the loveliest fiber from Long Ridge Farm.  The ten minutes I spent in that booth made me add another "must learn" to my list: natural dyeing.  The colors are out of this world, and I want to give it a try this summer.  Stay tuned for that experiment!

  1. What a handsome fellow! He looks so blase about the whole picture taking thing. BTW? I got a cute b-day present from my friend yesterday, and thought of you! It’s a new book out called What Would Audrey Do? All about the life lessons we can learn from our shared personal icon of fabulousness, Audrey Hepburn! I’ll let you know how it is…

  2. I got some hankies too. Dark purple ones. The way purple is meant to be purpled. I was thinking that I should have grabbed more, but then I figured I should maybe see if I like spinning them first. If I like them then there is always Mass or Rhinebeck.
