More on our Vendors...
Gwen Erin Natural Fibers
Gwen Brown is the owner (dyer/spinner/knitter/felter/weaver) behind Gwen Erin Natural Fibers. The business began in 2006 with a holiday craft show and just a few handknit fingerless mitts. After discovering the joy of working with individual wool breeds, Gwen started searching out unique fleeces from local farms. Wanting to share this love of wool with others, she decided to focus on providing hand-dyed breed-specific wool in several different forms: combed top, locks, and roving.
LOLA Alpaca
Since 2003, Land of Legends Alpacas has raised and lovingly cared for our alpacas in Licking County. Lola's Alpaca Shop is our little store on the farm where we offer our own yarns, roving, and items made from alpaca. We also offer a selection of commercial knitting yarns and weaving yarns, needles, notions, and dyes. We are Schacht dealers and have Cricket rigid heddle looms and a Matchless spinning wheel in stock . Alpaca socks, capes, scarves, and other items round out our offerings. We also can sharpen your sewing, household, and pinking scissors. Just drop them off to us at the show and we will return them to you by mail after sharpening!
