Flock Fiber Festival :: Seattle, WA
We're back at Flock for another year and we fall harder for this show every time. The Seattle Convention Center is so fun to work in, all the natural light pouring through those big windows, buzzing with hundreds of people and lots of good energy!
This year we're bringing a nice lineup: hand-dyed yarn across 6+ bases, our favorite Re:Design bags, custom FDF flair, and a featured collection and theme we're keeping under wraps for just a little longer. This one's going to feel very us.
And once you've had your fill of the show floor? Seattle will not let you down. The Bainbridge Island ferry is still on our must-do list every single visit, there's something about standing on that deck with a salty breeze that resets your whole nervous system after the busy show. Then it's back to the city for vintage hunting, coffee, and dinner somewhere fantastic.

A Woolen Affair :: Kingston, NY
There is no venue quite like Hutton Brickyards. Right on the Hudson River, all exposed brick and open sky. Catherine Clark of Brooklyn General Store throws a party unlike anyone else, and we've had enough years with her now to know: the energy in that room is always something special.
We're bringing the full FDF experience to Kingston, plenty of yarn, Sisters United merch, all the knitting accoutrements!
Kingston is a great place to keep the good vibes going after Woolen Affair, the town has just the right mix of historic charm and creative energy. Think: cobblestone streets, quirky little shops, and cute coffee houses!

Sacred Sheep :: Portland, OR
Sacred Sheep is smaller than the other shows, and that's exactly what we love about it. Rachel and the Ritual Dyes crew pour their entire hearts into this show; you feel it in every detail, from the vendors they choose to the way the whole thing flows. It's not just a fiber festival, it's a whole fiber lifestyle moment. Herbal goods, ceramics, jewelry, apparel alongside all the yarn you could possibly carry home.
We always bring a slightly different version of FDF to Portland, a little funkier, a little more experimental. This year's mood is shaping up to be exactly that. We're not ready to say more yet, but the featured designs for this stop are going to be worth the wait!

Hawthorn Asylum Food Carts - Great lunch spot for a big group.
