Queens Farm, with Jayne and Spin City -------------May 16, 2010

Will be attending Queens County Fair at the Queens Farm Museum in September  25th and 26.  Please come and see us there.

If you want to join a spinning circle in NYC or are just passing through, check us out at www.meetup.com Spin City. You will meet a lot of knowledgeable spinners and just nice people.  If you are new to NYC, we can point out all the right fiber stores, you can never have enough stuff, right?

Look for me on www.ravelry.com, my username there is Ambushbog-Anoush.

Where do you get your fiber?  I have had no shortage of getting free stuff, but i prefer undyed natural fleeces which i process myself or just a couple of ounces of something new to sample.  I get a lot of stuff on ebay, but the best prices for good and often unusual fiber is www.littlebarninc.com.  they have reasonable prices and cool stuff.  I am not associated with them in anyway.  I met them at the Rhinbeck Sheep and Wool festival in 2009 and really liked what they had.

Another farm, belonging to one of our fellow spinners, raises Tunis and some other assorted breeds.  You can check them out here www.friskylambfarm.com

County fairs are excellent ways to get to touch fiber, to meet people and test out different spindles.  One of the biggest ones is the in Rhinebeck www.sheepandwool.com

The other one which i enjoyed more was a smaller Connecticut one here http://www.ctsheep.org/101st_annual_sheep_and_wool_festival

feel free to ask me about resources and i might know of a place.
