Millcast Episode 98: Festival Season Kicks Off!

Fall Fiber Festival Season is finally here, and we’re thrilled to kick it off this Friday with our very own event, Millapalooza (get your tickets at the link below). Right after, we’ll head to the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds, and we hope to see you there this weekend! The fall foliage should be stunning, and you can find us in the Dodge Gilman Building. Also in this episode, we showcase a new baby/kids knitting pattern featuring our Farm Fresh Lite line and reveal the special yarn we’ve created exclusively for the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival. This episode was pre-recorded on Wednesday, September 25th.

Hoping Millapalooza is a roaring success-next year’s will be my reward for the last couple of years of all work and no play. Already making plans with an east coast knitting buddy!

We also have a ton of gravel roads in Minnesota and I do a lot of gravel cycling…so when a car passes I get a face full of dust! It’s been so dry here too. I wish I could visit you this weekend! One year, I hope! Good luck and have fun.

[@junctionfibermill]

Thanks so much!

I grew up in eastern Washington where they made the plutonium for the bombs. My dad worked with the reactors and got radiation at times. I also have friends that were sent to camps out here because they were Japanese. A sad time in our history we dont recognize..

Dont buy an all electric car. Expense of charging. A hybrid is more economical.
