Sarah has this to say
“I am a firm believer that fun and functional do not have to be mutually exclusive. Tools can be just fun and engaging as a completed project and should help inspire you and make you smile. My goal is to make quality, durable tools that are a joy to use.”

We are so happy to announce our vendors for the spring Indie Knit & Spin Marketplace at the Ace Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA
Vendors include:
Spencer Hill Naturally Dyed Yarn
Individual vendor profiles will be posted.
We have had a ton of great applicants and we just want to remind everyone that if you are thinking of applying the window is fairly short this time around. Applications will be closing January 22nd. If you are interested in showing at our first event at the Ace Hotel, head on over here.
While we loved our old space, the Ace Hotel allows us to put all the vendors in one room while adding ADA accessibility and greater parking! We also hope the hotel’s cafe, bar, and restaurant will encourage visitors to the festival to stick around longer.
We can finally announce the date for the Spring Indie Knit & Spin Marketplace – March 24th! We are moving to the Gymnasium at the Ace Hotel in Pittsburgh, located in the East Liberty Neighborhood. https://www.acehotel.com/pittsburgh
This new location offers ADA accessibility (plus our entire event is in one room on the first floor), easy access to both public transportation and parking, and a wide variety of food options!
Indie Knit and Spin is this Saturday!
Notes for attending:
There is no parking at the Wilkins School Community Center. Please park on the street in the neighboring community or use public transportation. There are a limited number of handicapped parking spots at the center. Please be aware that the building is not ADA accessible.
There will be a separate lounge on the 2nd floor in one of the smaller rooms for people to hang out, knit/crochet/spin, show and tell and enjoy their day at IKS. It’ll be wonderful if you can bring a snack to share.
There will be a give away/take away table in the lounge on the 2nd floor. Bring yarn/books/needles/etc that you want to go to a new home or add to your stash!
There will be giveaways from our lovely vendors and friends of the festival – more information will be provided when you arrive!
We will also have a kid’s activity where they can earn a small prize. Ask at the front desk for more information.
We can’t wait to see you all on Saturday! November 11th, 2017 from 10 am – 4 pm at the Wilkins School Community Center in Regent Square.
I am a shepherd and fiber mill owner/operator. I produce my own roving in natural and hand dyed colors. I also source Alpaca from local farmers when i add alpaca to my roving. I use commercially prepared merino top and yarn blanks for dyeing. I started my fiber flock in 2009.
