Betsy Gets Published, Again!

Check out the February 2011 NOFA/Mass enewsletter at http://www.nofamass.org/news/pdfs/newsletter02_2011.pdf for a good read by Betsy on the joys of playing with wool. She certainly has a knack for putting our shared passion to words.

Wayland Winter Farmers' Market Hosts Wool Days

Wool Days @ the Wayland Winter Farmers' Market

January 22, 2011 @ 10:00 AM

Russell's Garden Center

397 Boston Post Rd. (Rt. 20)

Wayland, Massachusetts

The Wayland Winter Farmers’ Market runs weekly on Saturdays (through March 12) from 10 AM to 2 PM in the greenhouses of Russell’s Garden Center (397 Boston Post Road, Wayland - 508-358-2283), featuring over 30 farm and specialty food vendors (http://www.russellsgardencenter.com/ to see vendor list) There are many breakfast and lunch options and seating is available in the warm, plant-filled greenhouse!

Last year we had a “Wool Day” at the Winter Market and invited New England farmers who produce wool from animals that they raise. That day was so successful, that we have decided to do it twice this season! You will find hand spun and hand dyed yarn, roving, top, raw and washed fleece in addition to wool products, including Massachusetts own “Baaay State Blanket”.

“Wool Days” are January 22nd and February 12th during market hours. This event will appeal to those who knit, crochet, weave and enjoy fiber arts. Our farm vendor list includes Bally Duff Farm (Harmony, RI) Foxhill Farm (Lee, MA), North Brook Alpaca Farm (Berlin, MA), Rag Hill Farm (Colrain, MA), Tintagel Farm (Brookfield, MA), Windy Hamlet Farm (W. Brookfield) Windy Hill Farm (Lakeville, MA) and Winterberry Farm (Leverett, MA). Additional yarns will be available from our weekly vendors, Springdell Farm and West River Creamery/Iceberg Farm.

Katie Helke Dokshina from Knit for Boston (http://www.knitforboston.org/) will be on hand to talk about the knitting projects they are involved with and how you can donate. Contact Peg: pegmallett@comcast.net
