Did I know about the Fiber Witch Festival this time last week? No, no I did not. Did I find myself there this past Saturday? Yup, yup I did. For you see, it was only about three hours from my house. And they were requiring masks for the first hour of the market. And well…that’s the sort of thing I want to encourage! So, I set out on a little adventure. ⁠

Then I promptly forgot to take even a single photo at the festival. What can I say, I was distracted by all the lovely yarn. And now, now I will distract you.⁠

That lovely bit of business on the left is three skeins of Cape May Fiber’s DK Merino Superwash in Mother of Pearl. And the delightful treats on the right are a Berry Gradient Yarn Set and a skein of Blackberry, both by Subito Farm. These are both new to me dyers (there were So Many New To Me Dyers at the festival, which always feels like a treat), and they both had lots of other temptations on offer!

So now…now I have to decide what to do with them. Tell me what y’all like to do with braids. I’m feeling a brioche sort of vibe where the background is the solid skein and the foreground moves through the colored bits, but I totally haven’t decided…
