Wool & Honey hosts yarn, fiber & jewelry show
From staff reports
May 24th-25th
On May 24-25, Wool & Honey in Cedar will be full of amazing talent from Michigan artists. Hand-dyed yarn and fibers from Yarn Hollow and hand-crafted paper jewelry and art by Quilling Maven. Also, all weekend long there will be demonstrations on how to use JUL Designs Closures to enhance your knitwear. The store will kickoff the fun on Friday evening from 6-9 p.m. and continue the gathering on Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
Yarn Hollow began in 2005, the result of a kitchen sink epiphany. Rita Petteys began dyeing yarn in her garage in Grandville, Mich., and selling it at the Fulton Street Farmer’s Market. These yarns come in an array of exquisite multi-colored and semi-solid color ways in a full range or weights. She uses a collection of fibers including merino, polworth, cashmere, bamboo, seacell, silk, blue faced leicester, tussah silk, mohair, baby alpaca and cotton. In both yarn and spinning fiber there are superwash options. Yarn Hollow is now throughout the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, Southern United States and Canada. Amazing colors for any one that knits, crochets or spins!
Quilling Maven comes from Williamston, Mich. Barb Zaremski loves making earrings, pendants and art out of paper. The art of quilling is centuries old – rolling and shaping specialty paper together to create ornamental designs. And similar to us fiber fans – it’s creating something beautiful from nothing. Quilling was a hobby of hers and now she’s putting these stunning creations out in the world to us to enjoy. These gorgeous accessories are perfect for you or a truly unique gift for someone special.
