This weekend was absolutely fabulous! The Cestari Yarn & Fiber Fair will have to become an annual event! In case you missed it, we celebrated yarn and fiber, with fibers of all kinds (camel, alpaca, llama, wool, and cotton) and yarn sales galore! We also had fresh local produce, baked goods, wine tastings, wagon rides and craft vendors. Most of all, we had incredibly talented demonstrators there to show how to spin and weave with spinning wheels and looms. Enjoy the pictures below! There was so much curiosity about fiber arts that we would love to pursue this more. If you want to learn more about spinning and weaving, please contact us. Let's make this happen!
