Growing Wool in Central Oregon: Fiber Market Day 2014

My own booth! New Berit's Double Hearts finished in time... more about this later

 Fiber Market Day for High Desert Wool Growers of Central Oregon
was a huge success. Vendors were kept very busy with patrons buying
fiber in all its forms, roving, bats, spun yarn, woven pieces and some felted.
Some hand dyed and some natural.  Fiber from alpacas, lamas, sheep
and mohair or pygora goats were available. I had my own booth for
Norsk Needlework    

Michele's booth    Frolic Fibers with Ginger spinning

Michele's Kromski Symphony wheel
This really nice wheel is still for sale. Contact me for info!

Mohair/ merino bats and handspun, hand dyed yarn

Hand carded bats of Mohair from Michele's goats

Michele Le Blanc had a wonderful booth. Her yarn is fabulous, angora, pygora, and

Lovely Fiber Market Day. Cute Alpaca outside too with friends. 

Weather wasn't too bad.

I loved participating in this market and will do so again! 

It is fun to meet my customers face to face.
