Punch Needle Embroidery Class at NML&W Festival

Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival

This is my "felting" workshop.  The ladies are busy needle felting coasters.  When they finished, we threw them in the "wonder washer" and wet felted them!

I am very sorry that I have not posted anything on my blog for such a long time.  I hope to do so very soon.  I have a new addition to Woolderness...her name is Chessie and she is an English angora bunny.  She is keeping me company in the studio.  She loves to hop around and hide behind the baskets of roving!

Chessie's fur will find its way into our roving, i.e., merino/angora, border leicester/angora, to name a few.  Stop by a meet Chessie!

Woolderness Open House

Woolderness is celebrating 6 years of business!  We are having an open house on Friday, November 16 from 4-8 p.m.  Come and help me celebrate!  I am also introducing "the gallery.". We now are carrying the artwork of some local artists.  I am so excited!  Fun, food and friendship!

I want to thank everyone who has visited Woolderness over these past 6 years.  I do appreciate you!

Art Gallery Announcement

Woolderness has a new look!  Yes, I am remodeling, rearranging and ADDING to the studio.  I am making room for more ART.  Woolderness will not only be a studio/store for your fiber needs, but we will also be an art gallery for our local artists -- Rick Shapero (handblown glass), Heerspink & Porter Pottery, photography by several artists, jewelry by Alaina Clarke, Katie Eberts (watercolor), baskets by Margie DeNoyer, silk scarves and wool slippers by Diane Keighley and more.

I will keep you informed as progress is being made.
