Join us for a recap of the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival Weekend! We kicked things off on Friday night with our inaugural Millapalooza, followed by a fun-filled weekend at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds for the festival itself. It was a blast reconnecting with fiber friends, both old and new. And the maple creemee machine? A total hit! We hope this episode captures the excitement of the weekend and inspires you to join us next year.

Want to add my voice to the wonderful sense of community that was present at the VT S&W festival. I'm a "consumer" and this was my first visit to this festival, and I enjoyed it SO much; made me so happy to have so many conversations with "strangers" -- who all share a love of fiber. Great to see you both, and to participate in Millapalooza. Thanks for all you do to build and support that community!

Thanks so much for the “tour” of Vermont Sheep and Wool! Couldn’t be there this year but definitely planning on going next year. Just hope and pray the weather in 2025 is just as perfect as it was this year!

I am so looking forward to this next year! Loved Peggy's reaction to the maple creamies. I've never had one either =)

What a fun time at Millapalooza! Tacos were yummy, Savage Heart Farm is gorgeous, sweet sheep faces all around! I indulged and bought a sweater amount of Ellie Mae yarn, gotta love a sweater with a such a loving story. Great seeing you ladies at both places!

I ….say this…and I live 15 miles from Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool and went once and never returned ……I enjoyed Vt Sheep and Wool…such a nice atmosphere and relaxed….and I bought a sweater quantity of Farm Fresh in the dark brown black color with a contrast of the making tracks for Western Rose sweater…first thing Saturday ….nice selection of yarn all around

@amycee4098 3 дня назад

Jealous! I grew up in the Hudson Valley and have fond memories of going to Rhinebeck with my mom when it was a much smaller affair. I still love it and return every year that I can, but boy is it a lot.

My first VTsheepandwool and it was more than worth the five hour drive from New Jersey… I can’t wait to return next year! The stars really aligned with the weather. I got to meet you Amanda and see your finished Lindal sweater! Food lines were long but worth it: I had the stuffed acorn squash and then sheep’s milk gelato for dessert! Best part was all the new-to-me vendors… I went home with a sweater’s quantity from Green Mountain Spinnery and a hedgehog salt and pepper shaker from Brown Bunny Pottery. Bliss!

Oh, my gosh! I told my husband, "This is one event/weekend I'm having a bit of FOMO about!" I knew you guys were going to have a fabulous weekend! Living in the Twin Cities, our fall colors are starting to peep out in the maples, but we are far from peak yet. Thanks for sharing the footage so that we could live a little vicariously from afar! Congrats on a successful VSWF!

Great episode! I came to VT S&W last year for the first time (and made a fleeting cameo on the Millcast as I bought an absurd amount of Making Tracks 😂), so I was sad to miss it this year. By the by, I’m test-knitting that upcoming Thea Colman sweater out of the dark green Farm Fresh. I’ll bring it to Rhinebeck.

What an absolute thrill to be able to attend both Millapalooza and the VT Sheep & Wool Festival this year. It was such an incredible experience for everyone in Designer Alley and we can't wait to do it again next year. As designers, we'd love to hear your feedback! Any ideas for next year? Suggestions? Please reach out! ~ and thank you Peggy, Amanda, Leah, Emma, Liz, and all the staff and volunteers that make Junction Fiber Yarn possible!!!

You girls are right I love watching you. I guess I need to go back to episode one or something. Are you girls related? Is it a family business? Give me the scoop. I’m just curious I love the video. Love your personality. You guys are just awesome thank you so much.
