The Great Lakes Fiber Show is coming up soon and we'll be there! If you'd signed up for our mailing list eNewsletter, you'd know that we are running a show special. See you on May 24th and 25th.

Our eStore is finally open for business. We're only accepting check payment right now, but after we get the routine down, we'll add credit card payment through Paypal.

A special processing offer has been sent out to those on our mailing list. Don't miss future specials. Sign up today! Because of boosting our productivity, our backlog is now down to four and one half weeks. Get your processing orders in now to get ready for this summer's fiber shows before the rush hits.

Morning Star Fiber's 2008 " 'Paca to Product" forum has been postponed until later this year. Presenters will be Wini Lebrecque, JoAnne White, Brenda Schori, and JC Christensen. This year's focus will be realizing a sustainable American made alpaca market at the cottage industry level and will include: accurately evaluating fleece for the best end products, blends that add value, adventures in niche marketing, and optimum shearing and skirting practices. Keep checking back. We'll post more information as it becomes available. We'll also notify by way of our newsletter.

A Rectangle Loom class taught by Jan Cox, The Village Weaver on Feb 23, was well received.

We finally have a different phone system! You probably have shared in our frustration. The new phone number is (330) 778-0078. We still have the old phone number for a while, but (as you know already) you can't always get through on it.

Our "Beginning Spinning 1,2,3" - From Fiber to Yarn class featuring Wini Labrecque of Star Weaver Farm concluded recently. Here's some pictures from that event.
