Here Annie is hard at work with the drum carder. After I dye the wool, she runs it through the drum carder before it goes on the floor for sale. Even though drum carding is not her favorite thing to do at Woolderness, she does it with a smile! Thanks, Annie.

Woolderness has added candles to their studio. We are selling Woodwick Candles. These candles have a great scent and because the wick is WOOD, they "crackle" when burning. We carry a 10 oz. candle that sells for $17, the 22 oz. candle sells for $23 and the Reed Diffusers sells for $25. We also carry the Car Scents that sell for $5. Give them a try! A new shipment should be arriving this week!

Woodwick Candles

Music, Art Dockside

What a beautiful day we had in Hessel on Sunday, July 20 for Music, Art Dockside. The sun was shining, the music was WONDERFUL, the view was spectacular and everyone seemed to be having a great time! As usual, I forgot to bring my camera so I do not have any pictures to post for you. A huge thank you to everyone who attended this annual event!

I am going to just throw a lot of "stuff" at you in no particular order. So, here goes.

Have you ever tried NEEDLE PUNCH? Needle punching is SO easy -- anyone can do it. Kids love to needle punch. In fact, I have given classes to kids at our local library (which is beautiful, by the way), ages 7 - 10. I have had teachers and 4-H leaders do needle punch with their kids. I have had the Les Cheneaux Red Hat ladies in the studio NEEDLE PUNCHING. Here is a sample:

I have put together a "KIT" for beginners to try. In the large kit you get a piece of wool felt (17" X 19"), 11, 1/4oz balls of roving (all different colors) and 2 needles. You supply the foam to punch on and the design. It sells for $19.50.

The small kit contains a piece of wool felt (approx. 10" X 10"), 9, 1/8 oz balls of roving (all different colors) and 1 needle. Again, you supply the foam to punch on and the design. This kits sells for $8.

Here is a sampler of beginning TAPESTRY WEAVING using hand-dyed, 2-ply, rug yarn. Aren't the colors fabulous!

I even threw some ROVING in there. The possibilities are endless. You must give tapestry weaving a try. Ask Shelley, you WILL get hooked!
