Business Agenda
- Fiber Festivals
- The Bloomington Wool & Fiber Festival will be held Fri & Sat, Oct 4th & 5th, from 9 am - 4 pm both days. (How dare they put a fiber festival across the same weekend as The Feast!?!) More info at the link below:
Homepage - Wool & Fiber Festival (woolandfiberfestival.org) - Huge THANK YOU to the Tippewa Spinners who demonstrated at The Farm at Prophetstown State Park on Saturday, Sep 21st: Linda C., Becky P. (with her great wheel!), and Ella S.!
- The FEAST is upon us!! Saturday & Sunday, Oct 5th & 6th.

- Any other Feast discussions?
- Pass out Feast buttons
- Any other agenda items?
- Show & Tell ... handspun yarns, purchases, finished items (knitted, crocheted, woven), other.
Hands-On Agenda Item -- Undecided between A "New-to-Us" Fiber (e.g., Bamboo or Rose Fiber or Other) or Open Spin (depends on whether I can pull it together after travel arrival late on Monday and time shift on Tuesday or not).
If I bring a "New-to-Us" of fiber and you wish to participate, please bring:
- Handcards
- Scissors
- Wheel or drop spindle
- a soft wool to blend with the "new" fiber
If we default to Open Spin, bring what you're working on!
