I just had to re-share this... Terri's handspun is turning out so beautifully, I can't wait to see it in-person this September! What is everyone else working on for the NCFF Craft-a-Longs? ... See MoreSee Less

Sample skein for North Country Fiber Fair "Silver" theme. 3 ply : Greyson's 1/2 year locks , finger picked, full year locks from Greyson, combed, plus a silver thread. Turned put pretty much how I visualized it. Wasn't sure if that twist would relax, but it did. Challenge now, is to locate more silver thread. Only 20 yards on the spool that I had.

The North Country Fiber Fair is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for fiber producers and consumers as well as education in all aspects of fiber production, fiber arts and marketing.

The mission of the North Country Fiber Fair is to host an annual event, on the 3rd weekend of September (except 2017 - see below), that provides educational and marketing opportunities for producers, fiber artists and consumers of natural fibers.

The 2017 NCFF will be held on September 22-24th at the Codington County Extension Complex in Watertown, South Dakota.

You can find more information on classes, teachers, registration, being a vendor and the event itself by visiting www.northcountryfiberfair.org

2017 NCFF Craft-A-Longs

September 22, 2017, 11:30am - September 24, 2017, 4:00pm

Two categories this year! You’re invited to bring your along items to NCFF to show them off. A great way to do this is to enter them into the competition and the fashion show! (The alongs this year are simply for fun to whet your appetite for NCFF.) 1. Join us for our 25th Anniversary Craft Along! This along is focused on completed items. (Though in progress items are welcome too.) A few ideas are listed below. (I've gathered up some pattern bundles in our Ravelry group to get us started.) - Annie Modesitt (see project bundle) and Robyn Chachula (see project bundle) are two of our featured Instructors – select one of their many beautiful patterns to make and show off at the show. - Silver Anniversary – Make sure your project shines by using a silvery element in the creation. (See the project bundle on Rav). - Spinning Wheels All Around – There are always plenty of spinning wheels at NCFF, add some more by working a spinning wheel motif into your project. (See the project bundle on Rav). 2. In celebration of the year of the spinning wheel, show us your skeins in our Spin Along! A few ideas to get you started: - Breed Studies – Perhaps the Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook by our featured spinning teacher Deb Robson will give you some inspiration for breeds to try. - Blends – Perhaps some silver and/or sparkle for our 25th anniversary - Art Yarns – Do beehives or add-ins intrigue you? - Specific Techniques – Does a particular technique call to you? Have you wanted to try the long draw or chain ply? - Hand Dyed – Do you enjoy playing with color or just want to try it? If you wish to show the dyed or prepped fiber, a small sample or photograph may be attached to the entry form. Details also posted on the website on our Craft Along page. (www.northcountryfiberfair.org > 2017 NCFF > Event Happenings > Craft Along) Feel free to chat, share your progress, and encourage each other in your creations. You can share here, in our Ravelry or Facebook Groups, or on Instagram. Be sure to tag your projects with #NCFF2017 & #NCFF25th so everyone can follow along! Please share this event on your timeline to spread the word and help get more people crafting for this September!
