Happy New Year!
Hi everyone. Hope your holiday season was bright and merry. Now it's time to get our noses back to the grindstones! Speaking of grindstones...New Year's Day was "Rock Day" for the Weaver's Guild of MN at the Textile Center. It's a once-a-year event and it's really fun. The idea is: after a season of merry-making and celebrating the holidays, it's time to get back to work! This was my second year at Rock Day and I love it. Virginia Parent is our gracious hostess, it's pot luck, and we spin, knit, weave, visit, eat, drink!
The 2009 Winter Class Schedule is online now, take a peek. We've put together some great classes (as usual).
Just a reminder that the shop will be closed Mondays and Tuesdays through the end of January (and possibly longer). We will maintain our normal Wednesday thru Sunday hours.
Spinning group is tomorrow. Of course it's gotten to be the joke that I schedule the group for a Sunday when the weather is inclement! (not true!) We'll see who the hardy Minn-e-so-tans are...we're supposed to get up to 4" of snow between now and tomorrow.
Have to run, hope you're having a great extended New Year's week-end.

Tidbits from the Studio
Hi everyone! Need a last minute holiday gift for a favorite fiber fanatic? In addition to the large variety of spinning and felting fibers we sell, we offer Gift Certificates in any dollar amount you'd like.
Posted hours for tomorrow are 11-2, but if you need to come earlier or later just let me know (I'm only 10 minutes from the shop, so no problem).
Comcast sent a film crew to the shop a couple of weeks ago to shoot the shop for a Channel 1 (Comcast On-Demand) feature. It was so fun and the four guy crew was really getting into the fiber thing and felting. It may be about 4 weeks until it starts running and if you have Comcast you can find it on Channel 1 in "Get Local/Best of the City."
We'll have spinning group again on Sunday, January 4th, anytime between Noon and 4 PM, and we hope to see you!
I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a most wonderful Holiday season and to thank you for your support over the past year. It's been crazy and I'm so looking forward to 2009 and what the New Year brings!
Wishing you and yours Peace, Love, Health and Happiness!

New Stuff
A quick note about new items that have come into the shop. The Gale's Art fibers have come in. We have lots of her Black Blue Face Leicester in rich, deep colorways and her wonderful Blue Face Leicester semi-solid colorways...very nice!
Our hand dyed bamboo fibers have been very popular and they're fun to spin, so silky and shiny. And, we've discovered they're a great alternative to the hand dyed silk top for making "paper" in wet felting.
We've also just gotten in natural color Superwash BFL (newly available product). And some natural Falkland Wool Top from the Falkland Islands. From what I understand there are no known parasites or insects detrimental to sheep found on the Islands, and so these sheep and their fiber has never been "dipped."
