Heritage Arts

The loksin sock and Angeluna and I went on a little field trip today.

We went to Heritage Arts on Beaumont Ranch in Grandview, less than an hours drive from home. Angeluna was driving so I got to knit some. ;-) The shop has a quaint old west look from the outside:

And there was lots of that blue sky:

But just inside the screen door:

there was yarn:

But the Lokskin sock visited the wall o' fiber:

Actually we should have taken our fiber wall pictures before we shopped the wall. We tried not to make too big of a mess, and clean up after ourselves some, but let's just say the wall was a little fuller of fiber before we got there.

There was also dye and yarn for weaving and looms and spinning wheels and all manner of other fiber-related goodies. Their website is being updated so check back later.

Here's my new stuff:

some hand-dyed merino in a color called mohave and some white wool and a new student spindle that is sturdy for learning and practicing and a Hokett Would Work spindle in Paduak wood [no website found but here is a link to some info].

Check out Angeluna's blog [link] for another report.

Signing out for tonight. I'm off to play with my new fibers and spindles.

Good grief, woman! I haven't even uploaded my photos. It was a fun day, and you make a great partner in crime.
