Do you like sheep? Do you like yarn and fiber? We’ve got it all at Lambtown Festival! This is the 37th year of the event and we’ve got a great lineup of fun! Come and see sheep shearing demos, sheepdog herding demos, the fleece & wool show, sheep to shawl competition, skeins & textiles competition, our hands-on crafting Wooly Adventures area, over 60 fabulous vendors, food and drink, and of course… sheep!

Bring your spinning wheel, a picnic blanket, and some friends and hang out with us on October 7 & 8 in Dixon, California, about halfway between the Bay Area and Sacramento. We’ve got a bus from San Francisco and Oakland on the 8th if you don’t want to drive! Workshops are also open, as are discounted full weekend tickets, and we’ve even got a few more outdoor vendor booths available for fiber or fiber-adjacent businesses. Check out our website for more details, and join our newsletter and follow us on instagram for all the latest info. We hope to see you there!

We’ve got a new colorway this week and it’s spectacular! Harvest Moon has all the colors of autumn in one beautiful hank. Such a beautiful fall palette that’s been building over the past few weeks. This week’s Harvest Moon is no exception. The rich oranges, teals and purples blend beautifully to provide the perfect fall colors. We like it paired with our deep purple Ríoga that makes those oranges; or warmed up with Mocha Or with Words of Wisdom — see how it picks up the dusty teal?

This amazing group is our new fave five: R to L: Ríoga, Mocha, Given to Rust, Tinsel and Words of Wisdom. Imagine these colors in that new Joji Locatelli sweater, Instant Crush, or in Andrea Mowrey’s Inclinations Shawl, or providing the florals in Caitlin Hunter’s Alpine Bloom. Make your plans and grab your choices — these will go quickly.

Did you know we offer free shipping on orders of $150 or more? After shopping for your yarn needs, why not pick up a few items to stash for holiday gift giving? We’ve got locally made artisan soaps, Knit. Coffee, and exquisite notions from CocoKnits, Katrinkles and Furls. These make terrific stocking stuffers for your or a friend.

Carolyn, our amazing dyer, is also a talented knitter. Our Cumulus Blouse Knit-a-Long last through the end of September and Carolyn’s been guiding us through with her Cumulus Diary. Check this great little show out on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, where each week Carolyn talks about everything from yarn selection to gauge and bindoffs.

Last but not least, we’re live on our YouTube channel, The Traveling Two Ewe Knit, every Saturday morning at 9:30AM Eastern time. Grab your coffee or tea, your yarn, and let’s have a great time together!

Fiber friends are the best friends! Thanks for being a part of our yarn community, and we’ll be back next week for more updates and adventures!

We are hugely proud to have our yarn featured in Aimee Gille’s latest book, Neons and Neutrals. We have kits for the gorgeous pattern, Wervel, which features our yarn. We worked very closely with the designer, Maaike van Geijn to come up with a gorgeous palette for the kits. There are kits for the yoke only, allowing you to used stash yarn for the body as well as sweater kits, which include yarn for the body as well.

Preorders are currently open. We have 30 bases available, ranging from fingering to worsted.

We have had a full restock of Chiaogoo needles and have added shorties to our range, available as 9″ fixed needles and sets. They are great for sleeves, socks or any other small-circumference circular knitting.

We also had a full restock of Muud bags. The ever-popular Saturn XL is back along with others, and we’ve added a new style.

Much of last year was spent doing custom orders, and this year is no exception!
