4th Annual Fiber Education Festival Report

Despite the bitter cold and howling wind, several folks enjoyed the annual Fiber Education Festival indoors this year!  The entire Festival set up in the R&M Yarns Studio and any spare space or corner available in the Store.  It was quaint and very cozy...we all got to know each other a lot better!

There were people demonstrating weaving on a floor loom, rigid heddle loom, triangle loom, inkle loom and children weaving on cardboard looms.  There were also demonstrations on the spinning wheel, drum carding and blending fiber, felting wool items and little felted people, and a large selection of hand-turned, wood-handle crochet hooks, etc.

There was also several beautiful, handmade woven items and dyed wool yarn offered for sale.

A big "Thank You" to the Scenic Valley Handweavers Guild for all their help and hard work in putting this event together.
