Now that 2014 is just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about a new season of fiber shows. Our 2014 schedule is jam-packed, so be sure to check here and see if we'll be in your area!


We're still looking to add another show or two to the schedule, so be sure to check in periodically for any changes.







Our first show of the season is the Pittsburgh Knit and Crochet Festival. It is March 14, 15, and 16, 2014. There are going to be many wonderful instructors and classes, as well as a fiber marketplace brimming with yarn! 

You can sign up for classes now, as well as buy your admission tickets (to avoid the crush on the day-of.) We hope to see you all there!

Here are some alpaca pictures I took recently. While I love sheep wool, alpaca is such a luxurious and versatile fiber. It is much more like human hair than sheep's wool, which means it is soft and glossy, without a noticeable crimp. It's also quite a bit warmer than wool, which makes it perfect for lightweight winter accessories. 

Sheepish Creations sells several different kinds of alpaca including:

White alpaca
Fawn alpaca
Dark chocolate alpaca
Silver alpaca
Red fawn alpaca
Silver alpaca/silk blend roving

It's been a whirlwind of back-to-back shows for the last few weekends and I'm just now getting the opportunity to post some of the highlights from each. I had the opportunity to see some beautiful, prize-winning sheep and alpaca. Stay tuned over the next few weeks for lots of picture updates!
