UPCOMING AUTUMN EVENTS:

If you missed our recent SnB field trip to Rainbow Fleece Farm, you won't want to miss visiting the farm in November. Quality and unique holiday gifts will be available, as well as, lovely rovings and yarns for your creativity. At the October open house, in addition to seeing roving and yarns in new fall colors, and how big the dogs have grown since last spring (!), we saw demonstrations in wool-to-fabric felting, drum carding and weaving on an absolutely perfect Wisconsin fall weekend. Look below for details on the upcoming Holiday Open House!
