Merlin Yarn, "Esclados the Red"





 Above and below are photos of recent dye lots that are being produced especially for this show.

Merlin Yarn, "Goblin's Gold"

Our booth will be filled with many different kinds of yarn, different textures, weights, fiber contents, and some new and interesting cottage milled yarn.

Merlin Yarn, "On the way to Gaul"

Along with yarn I will have some felt, and dyed locks, and neat little knit kits.  I always have a few patterns and I'll have some new ones too!

Merlin Yarn, "The Book of Kells"

I know that folks come see me for the multi-colored and rainbow dyed work, but those of you who are into semi-solids and solid colors will be very pleased this year too.

Merlin Yarn, "The Moon Spinners"

I will be in my same spot:  LC19 = Lower Corral, space #19.  We rather like it; I've kind of nick-named it "Sheep and Wool West" 'cause we're as far west as one can walk in the fairgrounds.  To find us, walk down hill from the main street - pass the food & t-shirt buildings, get to the bottom of the hill on to where the sheep dog trials are held.  It is a lovely green space with shade trees all around, and generally a little less congested.  Your family and friends can watch the amazing dogs while you shop! 

Can't wait to see you there!
