[vermont] Green Mountain Spinnery

On the way home from MA last week, I pulled off I-91 to the Green Mountain Spinnery. I haven't been in a while- I usually see them vending at the NH or VT Sheep and Wool Festivals- but wanted to stop by since it's literally only 200 feet away from the interstate exit.

Pretty Mountain Mohair:

I picked up a pattern for mittens and some undyed discounted seconds. The woman working was kind enough to give me a quick tour of the mill, which was actively spinning yarn. I think I must usually stop by on weekends when wool isn't being processed. It was cool (and noisy!) to see all the heavy carders and spinning bobbins working away.

After, I went to Curtis' BBQ up the road to bring home some ribs. Mmmmm. Riiiiibs.
