LEARN, RELAX...HAVE FUN

WEEKEND KNITTING RETREATS

If you've enjoyed a retreat at Blue Mountain in the past, you're going to love next year's line up!

Our first retreat in the spring (April 13-15) will feature an all day dye class with Joelle Burbank, locally based dyer of Wandering Wool. Come out, have fun learning to kettle dye your own yarn and paint a sock blank - and perhaps take home a bit of Joelle's handiwork, too! Details about the Retreat are coming soon. Save the date - don't miss your chance to meet and learn from an expert dyer, and enjoy a weekend get-away at Blue Mountain Retreat Center.

Our Maine Knitting Cruise slated for June 2018 has already started to fill up!

If you are curious about "life aboard the J&E Riggin you'll definitely want to read the October 13 article from The Washington Post describing what to expect on a Knitting Cruise in detail. If you still have any questions after reading this, the J&E Riggin website has a wonderfully informative FAQ page that should help! Elizabeth (at the Riggin office) is a trove of knowledge and can help with almost any problem.

Dates: June 27-30, 2018 (must be on board the boat on the evening of June 26). Registration information here.

SheepFarm

Killary Sheep Farm

We are very excited about our 2018 Fiber Tour of Ireland. Dates are now set for October 8-19, 2018. This time, we'll be visiting many new locations, including the Aran Islands & Dun Aengus, Donegal & Museum of Country Life & Foxford Woollen Mills, Eddie Doherty & Glencolumbkille Folk Village and Killybegs. We'll also visit the Killary Sheep Farm, have a knitting experience with Aine O Maille in Galway, and try our hand at felting with Liadain De Buitlear at The Constant Knitter in Dublin.

A separate newsletter covering all the details about our trip to Ireland will be coming soon - if you'd like an "advance copy" (as soon as we receive it), send a note here and we'll pass it on!

I Brake for Yarn!

SIGNATURE-REDS-AND-BLUES-FLAT

Halcyon Yarns, Bath Maine

Over the next several months, we'll be featuring yarn shops that are an easy stop on your drive to or from Maine. Take an extra bag, spend an extra day or two, and have fun!

One of the shops you definitely won't want to miss is Halcyon Yarns in Bath. Just about an hour from Rockland, Halcyon has been bringing yarn and fiber to customers around the world for over 35 years! Weavers, spinners and rug hookers all love their "Signature Collection" yarns but if that's not what you are looking for, they carry top quality name brands as well. This shop is definitely on my "must visit" list - you may want to add it to yours, too!
