Rolags from today’s class at DFW Fiber Fest!

One student said the colorful one was her 1994 Lisa Frank dream and honestly, we can’t disagree. 😂

We love seeing the creativity that comes out of these classes and watching everyone put their own spin on the techniques we teach.

What would your dream rolag look like?

We are excited to be back in the Market at DFW Fiber Fest for the first time since 2019! You will find us in the 800 aisle (red star on the map below) just across from our friends at Stunning String Studio. We’ll be giving demonstrations and helping choose fleece all weekend long, so stop by to squish fleece, take a wheel or carder for a test drive, and to get your passport stamp for the {Among Friends} game.

If you aren’t familiar with {Among Friends}, stop by our booth and we’ll be happy to show you how to play the game for a chance to win a prize basket!​

We’re back in the swing of our show and workshop season!

So far this year, we’ve had the pleasure of visiting Great Basin Fiber Arts Fair in Utah, Maryland Sheep & Wool, Estes Park Wool Market in Colorado, and Black Sheep Gathering in Oregon. We’ve loved teaching, meeting new fiber friends, and spending time with this wonderful community along the way.

And now we’re in Dallas for DFW Fiber Fest! It’s going to be a busy few months ahead as we head to Wisconsin Sheep & Wool Festival, Lambtown Festival, New York Sheep & Wool Festival, and SAFF.

Some of our upcoming workshops are already sold out, but there are still seats available in others. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is a great time to check the schedule and reserve your spot!

You can find our upcoming events and workshops at https://clemes.com/events/list/ or through the link in our bio.

We’re excited to be on the road for the rest of the season and hope to see you along the way, whether you’re having fun with us in a workshop or stopping by our booth to say hi!

August Fleece Release!

The August Fleece Release is now available. We posted a bevy of soft and crimpy Huacaya Alpaca this month, along with some fun crossbreeds (Finn x Tunis, anyone?) and a couple of really stunning fleece that ended up in Imperfect. This release also features several fleece in the four- to six-inch-long range, so if you are looking for something with a medium to soft hand and good length, there's plenty to choose from.

Take a look at the August Fleece Release and find your next favorite fleece!

We love hearing how our workshops help fiber artists feel more confident with their tools.

Our workshops are all about taking the mystery out of drum carding and helping you understand not just how a drum carder works, but why different techniques and fiber preparations create different results.

Whether you’re new to drum carding or have been using one for years, there’s always more to explore.

Thank you, Valerie, for sharing your experience with us! We can’t wait to see you again in class.
