I just looked up Rhinebeck fest.
http://www.sheepandwool.com - I just may have to go. I bought a spinning wheel a while back, but have not used it yet. I purchased como wool, Alpaca, some other type of soft wool, angora. I figured that will be a good start. Next year I will have to learn how to knit. My husband is thrilled...another hobby...LOL...and of course that means I need more room for my stash.
