Yarn, dyed fresh

I just know after posting it’s gonna chew and compress all the detail out of this video until it’s a noisy mess, but it’s still a pretty scene of the tidepools on MDI. Tidepooling is taking a backseat on the island while leaf peeping is in swing, but I’m just gonna soak up what I can while I can

Come see me during Maine Craft Weekend in Southwest Harbor with islandartsassociation this Saturday and Sunday, 10-5! After that, you can catch me at Maine’s Blue Ribbon Classic 🎡 on the other side of the state!

Excited to announce I’ll be selling my yarn and demonstrating at Maine’s Blue Ribbon Classic 🎡 in the Fiber Center for 5 days this year! I was lucky enough to yarn dye on the porch last year, and I get to do it all over again in just a couple weeks before finishing off the rest of the fair days inside the fiber center visible mending some vintage wool garments in preparation for Lost & Found Market at the end of the month! I’ll have all of my Fryeburg exclusive colorways on sock, and maybe some other bases too, if I get any requests in time.

Yes I remade the logo but all fiber related clip art it was necessary and YES I know I should’ve made the rabbits and the goats both angora but they weren’t available. I’ll do better next year!

So excited to be joining Norway Maine Arts Festival this year! I’ll be there this Saturday with so much yarn I don’t know where I’ll fit it all. I’ll also be demonstrating on my wheel throughout the day, spinning up some Maine grown fiber. I’m so sad I can’t stay for the evening show after the market side of things ends, I’m a day one Lady Lamb fan

This exact lyric from I’m Going Home is a little bit too perfect for this and I am not okay

Saw this plane fly past a couple weeks ago on a mental health forage on the beach, will be needing one of those again pronto

View from where I was spinning on Sunday at the Maine Spinner’s Registry’s quarterly meet up! We went down to SearsportShores and I ended up in a smaller group down by the water in the shade. Very ideal way to spend a couple hours

I was too busy out enjoying summer while I could that I forgot to share my shop’s 3 year anniversary on 8/4! To celebrate the milestone, I enlisted Creation Lab to make these can coolers and hats with my logo 🎉 I’m so happy my business has reached this growth point, and there’s so much more to come

Soon I’ll also carry ceramic buttons from two good friends, Salt Slip and IJ which you’ll be able to get in person at markets as well as online!
Let me know any other things you’re looking forward to finding in my shop; there’s definitely more coming and sooner rather than later 👀

Here’s a little nature ASMR of some flowering raspberry bushes on the Union Fairgrounds back in June during morning setup for Lost & Found Market

My brain is currently in an argument with my body about how much I should be doing and doing a low effort post is something they could peacefully agree on, so here!

Come find my booth at Bangor Pride tomorrow! I’ll be at the marked spot in the celebration’s new location this year on the waterfront, with Bat Stitch Crazy Shoppe (Sackville Haggins - Alex et al) as my booth neighbor. Alex is raffling off this giant yassified Fresno Nightcrawler to support Bangor Pride! You can buy tickets in my booth or hers, and all that money will go right back to making Pride as amazing as always

I’ll have a fresh restock of vintage buttons, more sparkly yarn, and I’m even bringing out the F* it bucket, where you can find discount Oops Skeins!

Also very excited to have upcycled reworked recycled reused fashion designer and artist as one of my other booth neighbors again!! 💞
