This handwoven shawl is one of many prizes to be awarded during CFF’s daily raffle drawings. Other goodies include CFF totes and t-shirts, a hand-felted bag and pretties for home and garden.
Purchase your $1.00 raffle tickets at the information desk. The more you buy, the better your chances! All proceeds benefit American Livestock Breeds Conservancy. And because doing good feels great, please be generous when buying your tickets.
Winning names will be drawn each day at 3:00. You do not have to be present to win. Prizes may be claimed during operating hours of the 3-day event.
What’s a prize without a story? During the Sheep-to-Shawl demo at CFF 2011, members of Twisted Threads Fiber Arts Guild carded, spun and plyed light and dark Shetland fiber for the shawl.
Later, Triangle Weavers Guild used that yarn to weave the shawl on a 24″ Dorset floor loom in a 2/2 twill. The finished piece was fulled by hand-washing in cool water, allowed to air dry and lightly steam-pressed. Finished dimensions are 21” x 76″ plus the twisted fringe on each end.
How lovely it would look gracing your shoulders.
Do you spin, knit, crochet, dye, felt, lace, weave or make soap?
There’s a class for you!
