YST Episode 159 June 2019

It's that time of year, and the tents are up and the vendors hopeful as the cycle of yearly fiber fairs continue.  I mention in the podcast my 'blue sky' dream of hitting them nationwide some year.  A van full of fiber to sell, and be replaced by purchases, sounds just right! The photo for this podcast shows the Pegosa alpaca fiber I am currently spinning by the lock on my Roberta. There are lots of links for the podcast, for everyone that I mentioned, be sure to check out the webpages. The Woolery, which you can find at fiber fairs and their storefront. Dyed in the Wool.  I owe Sandy Ferguson an apology for not mentioning in the podcast, her as an owner of this business too! The Alien Encounter sock pattern can be found on Ravelry, here. The Stoltman Family farm only has a FaceBook page, here. Ohio Valley Natural Fibers is the fiber processing mill I talk about. Yarn Geek Fibers has this page of dyed yarn and fibers for sale. Punkin Patch is Equinox Farm home of the crazy sheep lady.  There's a good blog on that website, where you can get you fill of photos and good writing. This is the farm from whom I purchased Bullwinkle's fleece. This blog had one post that showed Bullwinkle, he's the white sheep. This farm is also part of the breed conservancy program, Shave 'em to Save 'em, for rare breed sheep.
