Here are the teaser photos for our new scarf pattern that is debutting in March! Make sure to check out the Sheepish Creations booth to see the scarf in person. :)

Things certainly start getting hectic this time of the year, and that is also true for us! However, I'm super excited to announce that we'll (nonetheless!) be doing our very own Black Friday sale! We've got some absolutely gorgeous and squooshy Shetland roving lined up, as well as some wonderful chunky BFL yarn. Both of them are MYSTERY purchases, so you won't know the exact colorway until it arrives on your doorstep.
Listing will be available
here starting Nov 23! (Also available under the Black Friday Deals on the "
Shop" tab.) Quantities are limited so order early!

I am so looking forward to be at the Charlotte Fiber Festival Friday June 22, Saturday 23 and Sunday June 24. being held at the Metrolina Trade Show Expo north of Uptown Charlotte. This AIR-CONDITIONED show will have my new mohair shawls and custom spindles made by The Dragonfly Workshop. I look forward to seeing you and if you mention you saw this post to me at the show you will get a 10% discount!!!!!
Although I just wrapped up a weekend at the
Hoosier Hills Fiber Arts Festival, I'm already excited about the
Iowa Sheep and Wool festival that I will be at next weekend! I like fiber festivals of all kinds, but I am especially fond of the "sheep and wool" fairs because of all the fleece, animals, and dog trials that I get to see. I'm just a sucker for fluffy sheep and gorgeous dogs. :)
Anyways, I just wanted to share this gorgeous picture that was taken of one of the Dragonfly spindles I sold at Hoosier Hills. I'm so glad that this spindle has gone to loving home!
It has a Boubinga whorl and walnut shaft and just absolutely spins like a dream.
Be sure to check out our spindles, as well as our shawl kits, roving, dye, handspun yarn, and a bunch of other things at Iowa Sheep and Wool next weekend!
It seems inevitable for fiber-minded folks to accumulate more material/yarn/fiber than they actually can use, as well as stuff for hobbies/techniques that they end up not having time for. Such, I will admit, it also the case with me. :)
I went through my closets this spring and culled down my collection of yarn that I don't LOVE LOVE, as well as many wool sweaters I intended on felting and some gorgeous fleeces that I never ended up processing. I've only got some of this pictured/online at this point, but be sure to be on the lookout as I get the rest posted. For the time being, check out these awesome wool sweaters, ready to be felting and turned into something else. It's sad seeing them go, but felting just honestly isn't my thing . :(
Sweaters are available in our etsy shop
here.
After a few hours getting the booth set up, Sheepish Creations is all set up for our first show of the season, the
Wisconsin Spin-In!
Pam is a little camera shy (look at how well she avoids the camera!):
We're excited to show off all our new fibers and colors. Skeins and skeins of handspun, gorgeous mohair yarn, super-soft silk hankies, and of course our core spinning fibers.
If you are in the Milwaukee/Waukesha area, be sure to come and check the marketplace out. :)
