Roadtrip to Rhinebeck with Abigail for the NY Sheep and Wool festival. We stayed in a friend’s little camper and grabbed coffee and muffins at Babette’s Kitchen (5/5 stars) to get to the festival just after it opened on Sunday. (Side note: Sunday > Saturday)
Weather: perfect
Crowds: busy but not overwhelming
Wool: LOTS
Vibes: friendly and complimentary
It was interesting to see some subtle trend shifts this year. We met Flax Fiber Farm !! And spent no less than an hour talking about all the flaxy things. In the next year, we have lots of creative plans cooking. And hopefully more field trips!
