Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival Recap - Yarn Journeys Episode 18

The Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival was held May 6th and 7th, and this episode recaps all the wonderful yarn, fiber, sheep and goings on. It was truly a knitter's delight! And I show you my yarn and fiber haul from the festival. Plus, as always, I take you through the progress of my recent knitting projects.

So glad you enjoyed the episode!

I’m very jealous ! Maryland sheep and wool looks like a dream! I’m glad to have found your channel. There aren’t a lot of spinners on UA-cam compared to cross stitch and knitting. If you know of any spinning channels please share, I’ve found JK fibers, and soulful spinner but that’s about it. Thanks for the video!

Hi Debra! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Spinning channels I enjoy include Stitches and Starlight, Jillian Eve, Tiny Fibre Studio and Fiber Love Diary. I do also really like the Soulful Spinner too.

It’s inspiring to see so many people enjoying fiber arts!!!

[@YarnJourneys]

Indeed! More than ever, by the looks of these crowds.

[@ephemerabluetit335]

My best necks are always folded over . double. I think your idea will be better.

Thanks!

I love the ears.😄 That festival looks huge and amazing. I was thinking cowl too for that grey superfine merino. It sounds lovely. I have also had to re-knit a neck that was too big, I used smaller needles and even decreased to get it the way I wanted it, but it turned out great. Good luck with your brioche sweater, I still haven't tried it yet. I look forward to seeing your progress. When you held up you cool bag you made, I recognized the paint pans right away because I am an artist.😁

Hi Carin! My mom is a watercolor artist, so I made her a large zipper pouch in that fabric. She loves it! Glad to hear of you success with re-knitting the collar. It gives me confidence. 😀

Hi Melanie, what fun and those braids are beauties, I bet the yak, silk braid is buttery soft. Will you make a spinning video ? That would be nice to see. Thaaanks 😊

[@YarnJourneys]

That’s a great idea, Fiona. Thank you!
