Our July meeting is this week: Thursday, July 11, 2019 at 7pm (always the 2nd Thursday of the month). This month we are again meeting at the Ulster County Fairgrounds Wool Room, because we had such a nice time spinning on the porch last month! The Ulster County Fair is coming up quick at the end of this month! Will you have projects to enter? Entry drop off date is July 27th. This year’s fair dates are July 30 – August 4, 2019. Find the list of categories and how to enter right here.
If you have dye plants you could contribute for the Wool Room dye garden, please bring them!
The theme for the Ulster County Fair Wool Room competition is “handwarmers,” i.e., mittens, gloves, fingerless mittens, etc. The annual Fleece to Shawl competition is Saturday, August 3rd from 11am-3pm. Come out and watch and cheer our team on!
