New in August
We are featuring a cooperative member monthly, both here on our website and in our shop.
Come check out the unique offerings of each member and learn about their specialties! We will also be
starting a “Sunday’s at the Shop” series. Look for monthly updates as to what is coming up.
Sabra Massey is our featured member for the month of August. Sabra is a master knitter, and her specialties
include working with lace weight yarns. Her creations are dazzling, come check them out! Sabra is
also a spinner and spins beautiful yarns she then hand dyes through various techniques – including hand painting.
The latest technique Sabra has been experimenting with is creating Batts. Using a drum carder, she is able to
turn out incredible Batts with her hand dyed fiber, to be used for spinning or felting. Sunday August 1st, Sabra
will be at the shop demonstrating hand carding in the creation of Batts - “Going Batts! What to Do With Them”
Stop by for what is sure to be a fun afternoon.
Other “Sunday’s at the shop” for August include:
