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.
