Michigan Fiber Festival, Chicago Textile Fair, and Free Skill Sharing Drop-ins at the Chicago Cultural Center!

What's happening in the studio...

Where is the summer going? It's hard to believe August is already here. We have been busy doing the "fun" stuff of operating a business, such as inventory, developing new products (that actually is fun!), and planning our upcoming events this fall. Check them out and plan to come out to see what we have in store!

MICHIGAN FIBER FESTIVAL

If you are looking for a road trip this summer, come out and see us at the Michigan Fiber Festival! We will be revealing some of our new products for the season, including several DIY natural dye kits such as this indigo dye kit. Only available at our markets, so it's worth the trip! Only a 2.5-hour drive from metro-Chicago, the Michigan Fiber Festival is a great opportunity to see not only fiber of all kinds, but animals too.

Friday-Sunday, August 14-16 Allegan County Fairgrounds, MI
