Fiber Festivals and Gatherings

Breathing Space

January 28, 2019 by Lee Leave a Comment

The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival is one of the highlights of my year. Held the first weekend in May, it is a huge gathering of fiber animals and the people who love them and their fiber.

This strangely still pause between summer and autumn, greenery and gold, and the heat and rising wind that is once again readying itself to rush it all away in a climactic symphony of color and scent is -- in my opinion -- one of the best parts about living on earth. - Victoria Erickson
