Sheep on Retreat 2012

Friday morning, Chris picked me up, we swung by and picked up Sally. Off for a glorious fun filled weekend of fiber goodness known as the Black Sheep Guild Retreat held at the RAM Center . But first, a side trip to East Jordan to visit tour buy yarn at Stonehedge Fiber Mill, home of shepard’s wool. 

very cute little store brimming full of lovely yarn

We did a meet up with other black sheep people and got right down to business, shop first, tour later. 

so so many choices



it did get just a bit crowded

Let us just say, everyone had a big smile on their faces upon exiting the shop.

Shopping done, on to the tour of mill 

drooled over the shipping room

they have lots of yarn making machines

found the drying room

 

 

 

the mill ends are just too cool

oww and ahhhs



Speaking of mill ends, I snagged two skeins of mill ends. Kate had on skein in her hot little hand but put it back and I snagged it. Was not even aware that Kate was yarn lusting the mill ends, there were only two available, but even so, no, did not share. All I can say is you snooze you lose.

Chris, Sally and I took a side trip to the Parrot's Perch in Grayling. There was, of course, more yarn purchases. Sheep on retreat should have a keeper, they just run rampant and are out of control.

To be continued: since the BSKG retreat post is becoming way huge.

Stay tuned you would not want to miss a moment of the fun.
