I'm back again spinning at the 2026 Earth Day Festival! Come on by at Louis Engel Waterfront Park in Ossining and have a wonderful time!

First Earth Day Festival! Green Ossining's Festival on the banks of the Hudson River yesterday was wonderful. In spite of a drizzly start to the morning, the rest of the day was glorious for Earth Day. I was busy all day with spinning and talking to visitors about wool and wool ecology (as well as history, of course). Got three young ladies started on their wool spinning journey -- Rabbit Hole, here they come! πŸ‘πŸŒˆπŸ§Ά
