[travel] Fiber Revival 2009

My sister and I went down to Newbury, MA on Saturday to check out the Fiber Revival. I brought my spinning wheel, lazy kate, 2 bobbins of singles to ply and a niddy noddy. Did I actually do any spinning there? No. The 90+ degree weather doesn't inspire me to play with wool.

The location, Spencer-Pierce-Little Farm, is a National Historic Landmark with huge trees lining the drive:



There were quite a few vendors present (many to the left, just outside of this shot):



Happy people spinning...



A late seventeenth-century major house built as the country seat of wealthy Newburyport merchants...



There was a pen of alpacas, trying to stay cool:



I felt so bad for this hot little guy. He wasn't moving at all:



There was a larger fenced-in area for some of the farm's friendly animals: goats, a horse (I'm going to start taking pictures of just horse's asses. I don't know why, but I feel the need):



And a three-legged sheep:



I bought 2.5 pounds of fiber in various 4 ounce bumps, so I have LOTS of new colors and fibers to play with. Once the weather gets cooler.
