Owl is the newest addition to the Quince and Co family. Squishy, lofty, plump,
little Owl is made from a blend of American alpaca and wool. It's spun and dyed in New England and knits up
between 4 ½ to 5 stitches per inch, the perfect weight for just about
everything. Find it and the other Quince fibers at www.quinceandco.com. See all 7 colors of Little Owl at the
Knitting Pipeline Retreat along with the other Quince colors.
Peddler’s Way Quilt Co
is a sponsor of our show and our Knitting Pipeline Retreat. The shop is located just about a mile from
our retreat location just off the historic Washington Square. Peddler’s Way
Quilt Co is practically at the back door of those of you staying at The
Cornerstone Inn Bed and Breakfast. On
the second floor of this 6,000 sq ft store is a fiber corner with an array of
fine quality yarns, books, and needles. http://www.peddlersway.com
Knit 4 Together
is a knitting and fiber shop in Dunlap IL just north of Peoria IL. We are a cozy, friendly yarn shop with wall to
wall fiber, especially natural fiber and specialty yarn. Knit 4 Together has
unique yarn bowls made by our own pottery artist. All the notions you will need for your
project are here too.
You can find my Longaberger Home Business at www.longaberger.com/paula. Please contact me if you would like to be on
my preferred customer email list.
Bronwyn, Sarah and I share tips for
attending fiber events and retreats along with some specifics about our retreat
and yarn crawl. There is a great outtake at the end.
