Iowa Goodbye

Sheepish had such a great time at the Iowa Sheep and Wool Festival that we didn't want to leave!! It was so great seeing our Iowa friends again, and catching up with them on their projects. We have received several e mails since we returned from Colfax from our Iowa friends with questions concerning their projects and inquiries for additional supplies and support from Sheepish. Please feel free to contact us at any time; we love hearing from you! One of the features we will begin this summer is to show on this site some of the pictures of projects that we receive from our friends we have had the good fortune to meet at various shows and festivals. If you want your project featured, send us an e mail!!!!

But as much as we love seeing our fiber friends at shows and festivals around the Country, Sheepish has been to 7 festivals in 3 months, and we are looking forward to a small break from being on the road. Our next festival is the Midwest Fiber and Folk Festival in Grayslake, Illinois, August 1-3 at the Expo Center of the Lake County Fairgrounds. During our 'summer hiatus', Sheepish will be getting our new silk and linen yarns ready for the Festival, and Pam will be creating some amazing colorways for our wool yarn and rovings. We can hardly wait for you to see them!!

We would be remiss if we failed to extend a giant 'thanks' to Iowa Sheep and Wool for putting on such a great Festival. Sheepish has always enjoyed the Iowa Festival, and we love connecting with our Iowa friends. Till we meet again...

On Our Way to Iowa!

We are still in Indiana this morning after finishing up at the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival, and later today we will begin our round-about trip to the Iowa Sheep and Wool Festival. The weather was perfect at Hoosier Hills, and the 2-piece band playing outside our building made it seem like a party the entire show. We were able to reconnect with some of our Indiana friends who were letting us know how their projects turned out that we discussed with them last year. What a treat!! We also had the pleasure of speaking with some of our Kentucky friends that we had recently seen at the Lexington show back in May.

But today, we are thinking about Iowa. The Festival will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 14 & 15, at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax Iowa. Sheepish has been to the Iowa Festival several times in the past and we are excited to see our Iowa friends, and share with them some of the exciting new fibers that Sheepish has this year.

Iowa feels a bit like coming home in that Pam and David have lived in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, states that Iowa shares a border with. If you mention to Pam or David that you read this fact on the Sheepish blog, that will be worth a 10% discount on purchases of $30 or more at the Sheepish booth during the Festival.
Cant wait to be in Iowa!! Can ewe???!!!
