Every year, October brings with it a little bit of heaven. It’s called the Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. I start making my list of required yarns sometime in the summer, usually in my head. Then I forget at least 2 or three out of the 5 or so items I need, so I start writing things down. This year, I will surely remember my list since it will be electronically saved in my phone. Now I just have to remember to bring my phone.
So far, I have:
1. Extra yarn for a baby blanket – at least 2 skeins – Brooks Farm, Macho
2. Thick sock yarn 2-3 skeins
3. Undyed yarn, especially if it contains cotton, bamboo or other non-wool fibers 4-5 for a sweater
4. Something from mostly Merino
5. 2-3 Skeins from Good Kharma farm (their Hibiscus yarn is a big hit for hats with the kids) (that’s the stand with the magnifiscnet tree like holder for yarn)
I can’t wait!
