What a day. 🌻

Our second annual Spin-In at Sonnenberg Gardens was absolutely magical. Perfect weather, beautiful people, gorgeous wheels, and a mansion that felt like it was cheering us on. (We're pretty sure Mary was sending us cool breezes all day.)

Thank you to the incredible Sonnenberg staff for making us feel so welcome. Thank you to everyone who showed up and spun with us in one of the most beautiful spaces in the region.

Tour de Fleece might be wrapping up, but we're not done celebrating fiber arts. Mark your calendars for something special:

Fall Spin-In at Sonnenberg Gardens
Sunday, October 4, 2026
(Spooky fall vibes included)

We can't wait to do this again. Same place. Same community. Same magic.

See you in October. 🎡🍂
