making plans for Handcrafted in the Hills: a Fiber retreat!
so, we're starting to make plans for HHF! yay!
we will be having a different set of hands on activities for Saturday, and we're seriously considering extending it to the Thursday before, so that we can have friday and saturday both to do stuff.
we'll be hand dyeing sock yarn, dyeing fibers and doing some fiber prep as well as needle felting.
the likely cost will be around $150.00 per person. this will include meals and a bed to share with someone! we'll have a "shop" at the event so that people will be able to buy things that are needed. we'll be spinning and knitting and crocheting and such all weekend. it's like an adult sleep over!
make plans to attend.

Handcrafted in the Hills is coming!!
We have been busy little sheep here at the shop.
We have been putting together a Fiber Retreat weekend for you!
We have been putting together a Fiber Retreat weekend for you!
We have had a generous invitation by Mark at Sunrise Guest Ranch in Edgemont, SD to see his organically raised sheep and witness a spring shearing! So to make this an acceptable outing, we decided to make a weekend of it, offering classes and spending the night(s) at his GORGEOUS ranch!
(Yes.. that is a Ram standing on the porch. He likes to participate, in everything-- including our tour.)
There is a Spinning Wheel in the background there.. He and his Wife are just waiting for us to come, spin, and enjoy his fiber!
Mark's major shearing will be in April,
but he promised to keep a few of the nicest for us to see and feel, still on the sheep. He will shear them for our retreat. Prior sheared Fleeces will be available for purchase when we arrive.
