Perfect spring weather for the first Long Island Fleece and Fiber Fair! Hallockville was host of this event where fiber artists gathered to demonstrate their crafts and sell their wares. There were spinners, carders, knitters, felters, dyers, weavers and of course hookers. It was a wonderful success and we hope that it will become an annual event.
Our demonstration area was a breezy spot under a great big tent (thank you Herb!) outside of the Chichanowicz House (affectionately called the "Chic(k) House") next to the cow pasture. The pasture was filled with llamas, alpacas, sheep, and bunnies ...... oh the little lambs.
Look at the little black and gray lamb taking a rest and the little white lambs that never strayed far...
There was a great turnout at the festival and our tent. We did a lot of catching up with members and made many new hooking friends. Hopefully we'll see all of those faces again soon!!
