I've spent the past 2 weekends being a Fiber Arts Ambassador :). Setup a "microdisplay" (5'x5') which was perfect for just me, a couple Babes Fiber Garden Spinning Wheels.
I took a drying rack full of yarn. And my drop spindle earring display.
Oh yea, where did I do this? I was at the Amana Woolen Mills, I want to thank them for letting me "spin in the corner"!!!
I talked to more than a thousand folks over the two weekends (pretty sure of that). Educated many many folks on the what goes on, just to make yarn, & they appreciated any knit or woven fabric by the time I was done. I even remembered to make a mini-slide show on my tablet, so visitors could see my wool, my bunnies, one of them in the process of her 5-month clipping!
I'm pretty sure I'd like to go again. I have some ideas for a "poster board" that gives historic educational information on Fiber & Fabric. It should be easy & fun for visitors (hopefully customers).
I was "void of cards" I just didn't get time to print any. But any person with a REAL desire for information on spinning, knitting, or anything else with fibers got a postcard w/ my name, email & phone number on it. :)
Many many thanks for the wonderful folks at the Amana Woolen Mill, for their "corner" and hospitality.
Hope to get there again soon!
