Hello everyone,<\/p>\n
I received an e-mail recently from Kim Caufield who was spreading the word about some talks scheduled\u00a0for the Big E in Springfield, MA:<\/p>\n
#1 Fri. Sept 25 at 3 PM\u00a0 on Early Development of Textiles<\/p>\n
#2 Sun. Sept 27 at 3 PM on the History of Cotswolds and the Medieval Wool Trade.<\/p>\n
Link to the Big E is oddly enough thebige.com<\/p>\n
This is a big\u00a0B (bummer)\u00a0because it conflicts with the Common Ground Fair otherwise I’d definitely go. I promised Kim I’d get the word out. Maybe you all are aware and this is redundant?<\/p>\n
Also Kim has been raising\u00a0Cotswolds for 15 years so I asked her about getting some yarn for the bookmark exchange. She tells me that it’s difficult to find a commercial spinner due to the long staple\u00a0length. \u00a0I may be switching to Lincoln for warp and am off to Vermont to find some during my vacation.<\/p>\n
I also wanted to say how much fun I had at the Fiber Revival earlier this month. I am late to post this remark, but hope more of you will attend next year.\u00a0 My completed dish towel (of cottolin) is attached. Refer to the latest Handwoven ; it’s a twill pattern used by the Vikings in the 10th century!!<\/p>\n
A big thank you to Kathy James who provided a wonderful talk on color at the last NOBO meeting . It was impossible to get any sleep after that. I hope to see her again at Historic new England.<\/p>\n
Cheers,<\/p>\n
