Fibersmyth of Woodstock will be at Shenandoah Valley Fiber Fest
Woodstock — Knitting. Spinning. Felt making. Dyeing. These are the old arts, and they’re still being celebrated, practiced and taught today at Fibersmyth shop in historic Woodstock, Virginia.
The Fibersmyth shop is gorgeous and colorful inside. As Elizabeth, the owner says: “Limitless potential is hidden here waiting for our knitters and fiber artists to unlock it. How exciting it is to follow the progress of each new creation, and then see the finished product proudly shown off!”
Elizabeth offers unique, super-soft, natural fibers from all over the U.S. and the world. It’s surely worth traveling to Woodstock to see her wares.
On Saturday, October 24th from 10 am to 4 pm, and again on Sunday, October 25th from 10 am to 4 pm, Fibersmyth will also be showing at the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival in Berryville, VA.
The Festival will feature a juried fleece sale this year for both wool producers and buyers. Located in picturesque Clarke County, Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival is held at the Ruritan Fairgrounds. It’s easy to find – just off US 7 about 13 miles east of Winchester, VA.
There will be plenty of parking, easy walking, and comfortable resting areas. Shenandoah Fiber Festival offers quality activities and exhibits without the multi-thousands crowds found in some other regional festivals. Leave the pushing and shoving to others, and enjoy the relaxed Virginia Hunt Country ambience.
There will be an inviting children’s tent with fiber activities for the young, and the young at heart. Animals will be everywhere — to entice little smiles and gentle touches.
The Festival admission charge is $5 per adult; children under 12 enter free. Participants receive a free raffle ticket with each paid ticket. (Extra raffle tickets are $1 each.) Sorry! No pets allowed at the Festival; show animals spook easily
