The Spinning Circle 12:30 – 5:00 p.m. REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. Spinners of all levels are welcome to bring their wheels, drop spindles and enthusiasm and join our Spinning Circle for the duration of the market. A seat in the Spinning Circle includes a swag bag with samples and coupons from market vendors, safe storage for your purchases, and early entrance at 12:30 p.m. to preview the market, before settling in to spin with fiber friends until the market closes at 5:00 p.m.
Participants in the Spinning Circle are invited to try out Strauch Fiber Equipment Company’s drum carders, umbrella swifts and ball winders at the Fibernate booth. Bring fiber to make an art batt, and try some of our add-ins, on the Mad Batt’r, blend a smooth batt with their Finest Drum Carder, and wind those freshly purchased skeins into neat yarn cakes ready for knitting!
