White House FreshFarm Market, Washington DC

The newest FreshFarm market is on Thursday afternoons, 3pm to 7pm every week until the end of October. Located on Vermont Ave. between H & I streets, right at the McPherson Square Metro stop. We will be there every week except for October 22nd. Look for us under the cream color tent near I street.

 

Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival, October 24-25, 2009

We have a double booth at the festival in building 4. This is an opportunity to see all our yarns at once.

If the crowds at Maryland Sheep and Wool are starting to get to you, here is an alternative that is just in time for fall fiber projects. Located in Berryville, VA, it is an easy drive from Washington. It is smaller, more relaxed fiber festival, but it is growing with many new vendors; a juried fleece sale (Sue and I are both jurors), three classes: rug braiding, mosaic knitting and needle felting; kids activities, a sheep breeds exhibit, rabbit show, sheep dog demonstrations, wine tasting, dyeing and weaving demonstrations...etc. There is also a cool thing called “the Peddler’s Corner,” artisans (maybe you?) can consign up to 10 items for a fee of $1 each, paid at drop off.
