Today, we had one of our favorite farm rituals. We went to Nobletown Fiberworks in Hillsdale, New York, to meet Lewis, the owner of Nobletown and long-time Broadway star. Lewis is a charming and warm person to work with. He agreed to take Maria on early last year (he’s packed up now) but wants her back again. They will make beautiful wool music together.
Maria was thrilled with his work on our wool, and we had a great time picking it up today. I’ll leave the details to Maria on her blog, fullmoonfiberart.com.
She was delighted with the work Lewis had done.
This powerful ritual connects us, the farm, our animals, and our creativity.
Maria is thrilled with the wool but needs time to review it and consider price and shipping. There are skeins, dryer balls, rugs, roving, etc. She’ll write about her decisions in a day or so. There are some great choices there. She expects to put the wool and related items on sale shortly.
We both loved talking with Lewis and hearing his ideas. He and Maria hit it off. She was in her element. They are two very creative people who love art and wool together.
Robin’s roving will make a beautiful rug. Mericat’s wool is a lovely wool skein.
Maria’s first look at Robin’s wool, a possible future rug.
Lewis urged her to smell the wool. He has a ton of neat ideas.
Talking ideas
I fell in love with sweet Emma, Lewis’s dog.
We discussed a new idea and next year’s wool. We know next year will be great, and we love working with Lewis, a charming, creative, and talented man. He has no attitude or nose in the air for a longtime Broadway star. He said he would love us to return, and he and Maria talked wool.
