NEXT MEETING: July 3, 2024 - 6:30pm
Business Agenda
- Thank you to Kendall R. for last month's overview of the Finnsheep breed. And an even bigger thank you to Kendall (and Brandon) for allowing several of us to visit your farm ... and pet the lambs!
- Fiber Festivals
- Did anyone attend the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival? Experiences? Purchases? Comments?
- A very big thank you to Shelly, Mark, Elise, Carolyn, and Becky for representing Tippewa Spinners for demonstrating spinning at The Farm at Prophetstown State Park at their Family Day event.
- The Feast Application was (finally) sent in and our check was cashed (confirming receipt of our application).
- Show & Tell ... handspun yarns, finished items (knitted, crocheted, woven), other.
Hands-On Agenda Item -- Indigo Dye Demonstration (if it works!) / Open Spin
- There will be an EXTREMELY limited amount of dyestuff (if it works this far from the garden -- we'll see!). You might be able to dye a SMALL skein of yarn or small amount of fiber (depending on how many people want to try the limited dye pot). If you plan to participate:
- bring a small skein of yarn (~6 yards?) (It can be either protein or cellulose fiber)
- make sure you can identify your skein,
- bring your skein having been pre-soaked in water,
- bring a plastic bag (or something) to bring your pre-soaked skein / take your wet, dyed skein home.
