Textile and Fiber Fair



Starting over after such a long absence, and I'm embarrassed to see how long ago I did a post on this site. Plenty goes on between the city and the country; it's just me that dropped the ball of yarn. I have been crocheting recently and was happy to attend the second Textile and Fiber Fair at the Splash Pad Park near Lake Merritt. Present were spinners, weavers, knitters, crocheters, and quilters. Also on site were great fleece fibers including alpaca in glorious, natural shades.






A couple of interesting vendors, both from the Vacaville, CA area: http://www.fanfarefarms.com/ Alpacas, Fleece, and Yarn



an http://www.fiberwisemill.net/ French Angora Rabbits, Natural Colored Sheep and Alpaca


I have to keep this going, and do it regularly. I have been trying to write fiction but am finding the learning curve a bit of a stretch.
