The Priory Knitters & Spinners work all year to create delightful needle felted figures and other handmade things, which are sold at bazaars for the holiday season. They will be present at a couple of bazaars in the fall: the Schafer Meadows Fiber Festival in Elma, and Olympia High School’s BEARzaar.
SCHAFER MEADOWS FIBER FESTIVAL will be in the Exhibit Hall at the Grays Harbor County Fairgrounds, located at the intersection of Hwys 8 & 12 in Elma, Washington. To view a brief slideshow of the 2016 Fiber Festival, click 2016-schafermeadows.
