Maryland Sheep & Wool Preview
Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 4:38PM If you happen to be heading to the Howard County, MD fairgrounds this weekend, you can expect to see:
A new set of spring rainbow colorways, dyed on Felicity Merino/Silk. These shades cannot be recreated, and there are only eight mini skein sets to be had!
And Carpe Yarnem: Seize the Dye (colorways that cannot be recreated) awesomeness galore:
Cloverhill Yarn is inside the main barn. Here's the route you should take to see the yumminess.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'll be teaching at the Shepherd's Harvest Festival in Minnesota this weekend. No booth, but you can stop by Darn Knit Anyway in Stillwater on your way out of the festival -- it's not far!

Hey Sharon,
I am going to have a booth the SHF this weekend. Hope to see you there!
OMBOB! Those are absolutely DROOLWORTHY! As usual! Looking at that map, I have this image in my mind of a stampeding group racing from the main gates when they open to get to that booth - good thing the first aid station is right across the road from it!
Wish I could be there, I'd be leading that stampede, hee!
Dear self - do not trample people heading towards this booth. Do not trample people heading towards this booth. Do not trample people...
EIGHT!??! Only EIGHT!?? Suddenly I am stressed out about the MSWF. Will I get there in time??? Ohhhh. Maybe I should just head there now and sleep in my car. It is a FIT, the back seat folds down to make a flat surface. I could sleep there...
WOW!! My mouth literally just fell open.
GORGEOUS!
That beautiful purple/brown on SB is on my MUST HAVE!!!!! list. Too bad I won't be there to snag it :( Have fun everyone!!!!!!!!!!
Oh! Those mini skeins are killing me! I so wish I lived closer! Have fun everyone!
WISH I WAS THERE!!!!
Well - I decided not to stress too much and to sleep in my own bed - and that strategy was successful! I made it there in time to snag a mini-skein bundle. Whew! Lots of pretty stuff there this year. I am on a break right now and will be going back either this afternoon or tomorrow - or both. Perfect weather for it too! YAY!
we got to Cloverhill at 7:45, to be first in line. i got mini-skeins (request from a friend), and You Need Me, Vernal Equinox, I Love Paris in the Springtime, and Faerie Conclave, all on Adorn.
Thanks for the updates, everyone! Wish I could have been there in person!
I was SO bummed that all the pretties were gone by the time I got to the booth! I think it is because I stood for ages in the Signature Needle booth! One day I will get some yarn from the Carpe Yarnem.
The colors are absolutely beautiful. Would have loved to have been at the show. I definitely can't wait to try some of your yarns.
