You can be in your own little world while you provide finished items for you and your family. Now is the time to try something new….. knitting socks or if that is scary knitting mitts on four needles to learn how to create “in the round”.  Be Brave… try something new…. Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained!

The Quilt and Fiber Art Market at Sanford, N.C. is this weekend, friday and saturday from 9-5, at the Dennis Wicker Center in Sanford. Admission is $5.00.

We will have a sale in the Red Barn as an end -of-year thank you to customers. That special YARN or ROVING is specially priced for you. If you cannot make it that day just call or email for a special time for you.

Wishing you and your families all the best this wonderful season and through the New Year.

 Cool, crisp weather has arrived and with it the urge to knit or crochet to stay warm and cozy! Wool is the answer. Layers of wool clothing or even just wool on the outer layer will keep you warm and cozy as the temperatures dip. Create your own style with our wool yarn or use our wool fiber to felt  into clothing.  We have 100% wool yarn as well as a new LIMITED EDITION  custom yarn…”DELOVELY” which is a wool/alpaca/mohair blend.  Come to the OPEN HOUSE this saturday October 8th from 10-12  and stay for the Second Saturday event in the afternoon from 1:30-4:30 as we celebrate all things FIBER with the Twisted Threads Fiber Arts Guild.

We enjoyed the Rising Meadow Farm Day event this past weekend.  Kudos to Ann and Ron Fay for hosting such a great fiber and craft day at their farm.  We met so many wonderful people as well as seeing many old friends.  The weather was a little blustery but it did not rain. We met Kim Pate of The Twisted Knitter , a new yarn shop, in Mebane, N.C.. It was a fun day all around!

 Yarn/Yarn/ Yarn  What a fiber dream. Color is the word this year. Find your color and create the perfect item for you. Our Open house and Second saturday event coincide this year ( October 8th) with a chance for you to shop for that perfect yarn, roving, bag of locks or lucious fleece.
