I was very inspired and validated with many purchases of Kim's and my handspun yarn at the Fingerlakes Festival. It proves to us that our hard work and dedication to our belief in raising and spinning our own yarn is valid and appreciated. Commercial yarns are plentiful, but they are mostly from dead sheep and the fiber feels like it. I believe in supporting small shepherds who offer their own fiber for sale. We are a rare and vanishing entity in a world of commercialism and quick fixes. Besides, artsy, funky hand spun yarn can never be found in a yarn shop and can never be duplicated....reason enough to snatch it up!
