Castle Sweaters Premiere This Weekend

Very exciting news! We've been working for months on a great project: a small group of extremely talented European women have been making sweaters out of the yarn produced by our own alpacas. This is not as easy as it sounds. But the designs are exquisite. The techniques are flawless. You could never find sweaters like these in any store, regardless of how high-end it might be. They are premiering this weekend at The Homestead Arts and Crafts Festival in Hot Springs, Virginia. Stop by if you're in the area . . . But at least keep an eye on the website because we will soon put up a link to the new sweater website, www.Castle-Sweaters.com. Or in Slovak, svetre zo zamku, which means "sweaters from the castle". We've named them all after Slovak castles. Truly, these are straight out of sweater dream-don.

Summer's over??

Hey, wait a minute. Where did August go? Somehow my calendar says October. Unbelievable. Our store has done a brisk farmers market business since last we blogged. It's plum full of the most enticing yarns. We're getting ready to start formulating classes and dragging out our spinning wheels! After a sweltering summer we're sure looking forward to fall breezes and beautiful leaves in the Shenandoah Valley. Next goal: get regular blogs posted so you know what we are up to. Thanks for checking back!
