we are leaving our list of 2011 Market vendors up until the end of the year. That way, if you are looking to buy a holiday gift (or to buy items to make one) or just to stock up, you will find them here!

introducing the exhibitors of our 2011 market! We strive to put together an excellent and diverse Marketplace just for you! We look for a selection of the best products: from fiber shorn right off the sheep to handmade heirloom clothing and decorative art - and EVERYTHING in between. We are fiber artists ourselves, and we know that to see a home grown, unique product in person - to be able to touch and savor - is a rare treat!

2011 exhibitors (in alpha order, by business name):
