Second Saturday Spinners

Location: Outside

Second Saturday Spinners, a local fiber arts group, was founded as a knowledge sharing community of spinners, knitters and weavers.

Named for the monthly meeting day in Hellertown, the members demonstrate the very-much-current art of spinning at the Bethlehem Rose Garden, Farmers Market and various other festivals and markets in the Lehigh Valley.  The membership is comprised of experienced spinners, knitters, weavers and sheep breeders as well as those brand new to these disciplines.

We will demo a mix of modern and older spinning wheels in addition to some various types of fiber prep work and weaving.

Mid Atlantic Sock Machine Knitters

Location: Main Hall

We will be joined by the Mid Atlantic Sock Machine Knitters.

Their mission is to organize and promote Circular Sock Machine crank-in's in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania areas. Come see what exactly these extraordinary machines do! Feel free to just come watch, or bring your machine and join in! From beginner to advanced all are welcome to join the group and have fun!

Fleece Sale

We hope to connect you with your best buyers and/or best fleeces. We believe all fleeces have a use, and we strive to help you sell or find the perfect hand spinning fleece, rug felting fleece, needle felting fleece, or that just plain gorgeous fleece you've been searching for!
