I’m back from a great fiber weekend in Freeport, ME at Spa, Spin & Knit. Depsite heavy, wet snow, high winds, power outages and such, many fiber enthusiasts made the trek.  We arrived in Freeport at noon on Friday to almost 50 degrees and sunny – that was quite a change from the weather driving through the White Mts!

It was a good weekend for selling lots of yarn and fiber, talking to old friends and customers and meeting new ones! Now it’s back to work – unpacking first, then taking inventory to see where I have to restock.  I have plenty of yarn on hand to wind, wash and dye more skeins.  And lots more fiber in the barn that needs to be skirted before we start to shear again next month.

Last year I tried a new brand of dye for some of our yarns.  Yesterday, I picked up one of the socks that I’ve been knitting for months (no – I don’t have enough time to knit!) and noticed that the dye had faded quite a bit. I check a few other skeins and found the same thing.  Apparently, the dye is not light fast.

If anyone purchased a skein from me and is not happy with the performance of the dye, please contact me.  I’ll make it up to you.
