Attention all you Tapestry Weavers! Check out the "sheep" tapestry I am working on. I am having so much fun with tapestry. The other tapestry shown here is a "sampler" of many different techniques that you will learn during the "tapestry weaving" class offered at Woolderness.

Sign up a a class today -- 484-1258!

Here are some pictures from the Les Cheneaux Preschool Christmas Bazaar.

Amy Polk makes handmade soaps and dog treats. In fact, I use Amy's soap in my "wool-wrapped soaps".

Shari Huff is a wonderful folk art artist. She paints on just about anything!

It was a fun day!

Here are pictures of the items that will be made in the Felting Workshop scheduled for next summer through the Les Cheneaux Arts Council.

Felted flowers, felted change purse & more felted vessels (for your ipod, cell phone, lip gloss, etc)


Woolderness has recently undergone a "reorganization." We have moved things around and rearranged to make room for "better shopping. We have moved the tapestry loom (which is now attached to a wall), centered the large rug loom, downsized to only one table!

The baskets are full of beautiful roving -- many new colors!

Plan to stop by this holiday season. We have many "unique" gift items that you won't find anywhere else!
WOOLDERNESS is getting ready for the holiday season! The Cedarville/Hessel area is getting ready for "A Les Cheneaux Christmas." This event will take place over 2 weekends -- Thanksgiving weekend and Dec. 4, 5, & 6. Many special events are being planned and businesses will be staying open later & will be offering specials.

Woolderness will have demonstrations for spinning, weaving, needle punch & natural dyeing! Mark your calendars.

For a schedule of all the events call the Les Cheneaux Tourist Association.
Here are a few of the teacup pin cushions! They would make a wonderful gift!

They are 100% wool (no filler, no styrofoam).

They sell for $18.
Here are two clutch purses. The multi-colored one is made using the "rag rug" technique. This purse is made from old feed sacks.

The "periwinkle" clutch is 100% wool -- felted.
