An introduction to the
Maine Fibershed
with 
Pat Harpell

This will be a terrific mini workshop to learn more about our wonderful Maine based Fibershed! Pat will be introducing us to "what is a FiberShed". She will be discussing the importance of local fiber to our economy and how small changes in our fiber choices can add up to significant changes to our local ecosystems. Pat will take us on a "tour" of Maine's rich fiber farms via a garland of local fiber swatches that range from alpaca to yak and help us learn what is needed to go from shorn sheep to a locally produced yarn.  She will 

also sharing a fun KAL opportunity with us to help promote Maine produced fibers. More details on the KAL will be coming soon, so stay tuned! In the meantime, learn more about the Maine Fibershed HERE.

​

PLUS - We will also be wrapping up our Carissa Browning KAL with our prize drawing, so be sure to bring your completed Browning projects to be eligible.  Add to that our regular Show & Share, updates on upcoming activities, and plenty of social knitting time.
