#RiverheadNY - Long Island #FleeceAndFiber Fair at #Hallockville #MuseumFarm
May 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
Hallockville Museum Farm
6038 Sound Avenue
Riverhead NYAdmission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.
"Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece & Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber – from raw fleece to finished textile — at its historic North Fork campus.
"A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, #spinning, and #weaving demonstrations, along with a #marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional #FiberArtists and #Artisans.
"A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized #knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the #PaumanokWeavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat #NeedleFelted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and #BasketWeaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using #NaturalMaterials such as #silk, #seagrass, and #wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.
"In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s #craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their #FiberArts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.
" 'The Fleece & Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the #NorthFork,' said Executive Director Heather Johnson. 'It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire #makers today.'
"The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers."

I have not done #TidyTuesday for a long time, and this was both fun and challenging! Given my interest in #FiberArts I explored #yarn production in Italy, 1936-1985. Don't be deceived! The massive spike on the right is still only a tiny amount of yarn produced before and after the war #DataViz #RStats #📊 Of course, these colors are Italian flag inspired, and hopefully easily discernible by everyone. HARDEST PART: getting the magick layout right 😵💫 and the fonts could be bigger...next time...

#WestbrookME - Protest Patches with Claire + Carly
May 31, 2026, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
#PastAndFutureCraft
506 Main St #18
Westbrook, ME 04092, USA"Let's channel the rebellious 60's and 70's by making a protest patch using groovy fabric scraps. Learn two different machine applique techniques. We'll use reverse applique to create a layer fabric image. Text will be added using double sided interfacing and friction pens. The patch makes a perfect pocket or patch for a mended pair of jeans. We'll have interfacing, pens and a heaping basket of fabric scraps but feel free to contribute your own scraps. This is a great scrap busting project and the more scraps the merrier.
Prerequisites: Some machine sewing experience is helpful, such as Sewing Machine Basics with Jo.
Class date: Sunday, May 31st, 10:30am - 12:30pm
Location: 506 Main Street Unit 18 Westbrook Maine. Free parking available on-site. Accessible entrance and restrooms.
Cost: $45 per person. Scholarships are available; apply here.
Supplies Needed: All supplies will be provided. Some designs will be available to use, but you are welcome to bring your own designs…"

What Yarn Costs in Morocco vs the U.S. (Real Prices)
Since moving to Morocco, one of the first things I looked into was yarn—where to find it, what the quality is like, and how the prices compare to what I was used to in the United States.
If you crochet regularly, you already know that yarn cost matters. It affects what you make, how often you make it, and even the types of patterns you choose.
Here’s a realistic breakdown based on what I’ve seen.
Yarn Prices in the United States
In the U.S., yarn is widely available and fairly consistent in price.
- Basic acrylic (like Red Heart Super Saver): about $4–$6 per skein (~198g)
- That works out to roughly $2–$3 per 100g
- Mid-range yarns: $6–$12
- Cotton, wool, and specialty yarns: $10–$20+
The biggest advantage in the U.S. is convenience—you can usually find exactly what you need and restock easily.
Yarn Prices in Morocco
In Morocco, yarn is also easy to find, especially in places like Derb Omar in Casablanca, but pricing can vary more depending on where and how you buy.
- Standard pricing often starts around 20–25 MAD per 100g
👉 roughly $2–$2.50 USD - Prices can go higher depending on fiber type and thickness
- Bulkier or specialty yarns can get noticeably more expensive
Bulk Pricing (My Experience)
When buying in bulk, prices can drop.
In my case, I paid 20 dirhams (about $2 USD) per 100g skein.
This was a bulk price, and not necessarily what you’ll pay for smaller quantities. Prices per skein can vary starting from about $2.50 USD and can increase depending on the type of yarn, especially for thicker or higher-quality options.
So Which Is Cheaper?
When you compare directly, basic yarn prices in Morocco and the U.S. are actually pretty similar.
The difference isn’t so much the cost—it’s the experience.
The Real Difference
In the U.S., you can:
- Follow patterns exactly
- Use the same yarn brands consistently
- Easily replace yarn if you run out
In Morocco, you may need to:
- Work with what’s available
- Adjust your hook size or pattern
- Be flexible with yarn types and textures
What This Means for Your Crochet
This is where things get interesting.
Crocheting in Morocco encourages you to:
- Think in measurements instead of stitch counts
- Adapt patterns more freely
- Experiment with different yarns
This is one of the reasons I design patterns the way I do—so they work no matter what yarn you have access to.
Final Thoughts
Yarn in Morocco isn’t drastically cheaper than in the U.S., especially for basic options—but it offers a different kind of experience.
You trade convenience for flexibility.
If you’re willing to adapt and work with what’s available, you can still create beautiful pieces without needing the exact same materials every time.

HodgePodge Crochet is Now on Patreon
After a lot of thought, I’ve officially launched a Patreon for HodgePodge Crochet.
If you’ve been following along for a while, you already know that I’m constantly working on new designs, testing ideas, and refining patterns. I may not release patterns every week, but there is always something in progress behind the scenes. Patreon gives me a place to share more of that process and offer a more organized way for those who want to be more involved.
This space is designed to be simple, consistent, and actually useful—not overwhelming.
There are two tiers available.
The first tier, Studio Access, is for those who want a closer look behind the scenes. You’ll get early access to tester calls before they’re posted publicly, along with updates on what I’m working on, yarn choices, and sneak peeks of upcoming designs.
The second tier, Pattern Club, includes everything in the first tier plus one pattern per month as a downloadable PDF. You’ll also get early access to patterns before they’re released publicly, priority consideration for tester selection, and access to a monthly live session where we can go over crochet questions, pattern help, or current projects.
One thing that’s important to know is that Patreon is where I can share more of my way of thinking and show my process along the way.
If you’ve ever wanted earlier access to patterns, a more direct connection to my work, or a place where everything is a little more organized, this is for you.
You can join here: https://www.patreon.com/c/hodgepodgecrochet
Thank you for continuing to support HodgePodge Crochet. It truly means a lot and allows me to keep creating and sharing new designs.

Cost: $35
About the event
"Did you get an embroidery kit as a gift? No idea how to start the thing, but you’d like to? Did you buy a cute embroidery kit and are a little trepidatious about starting it? Maybe your aunt taught you a little about embroidery when you were 10, but now you are 40 and the stitches didn’t just come back to you? Or maybe you have seen a cute embroidery kit at Past and Future Crafts that you would LOVE to buy, but you have no idea how to get started?
And then you see that all the 'Learn embroidery classes' require you to buy their kit and materials?
Never fear! Tree Heckler is here to help! Dig that thing out of the closet, the junk drawer, or wherever you stashed it. Bring it to this class!
This class is for learning freestyle, crewel work, or cross stitch embroidery ONLY.…"

Hello #fediverse!
i've been lurking for a while on another server, but it's time to make my home here.
So here's my #introduction post. My handle is @vitskapsdama, which means the Science Lady in Norwegian. I'm a medical writer and #science educator, and have worked for a non-profit youth organisation.
I'm born in #Indonesia, grew up in the #Netherlands and moved in the early 2000s with my family to a small village in #Norway.
I'm interested in Life, the Universe and Everything, love to explore what comes my way and am a lifelong #learner. I love learning by doing and am an #arts and #crafts person.
I try to lead a #sustainable life and to minimize my #footprint, but modern society does not make that easy. So I like to learn from others and maybe share what works for me.
My main hobbies are #cooking and eating #food, #fiberarts like #crochet and #embroidery, #origami #handwriting, #postcrossing, #notebooks and #fountainpens.
I love #books and #libraries, and I mainly read for enjoyment. My favorite genres are old-school #fantasy and #sciencefiction. I also play #games when I have the time.
I post a daily picture of my life over at pixelfed.social (just look up my handle there). I'm not sorry at all for the long post and love to connect with interesting and open-minded people.

‘Don’t throw away your old #clothes – do this 1 thing instead’
#RepairCafes are popping up in the UK where volunteers are learning how to #repair, #mend and #fix #garments or #electronics to avoid buying new items
By Steph Spyro, Deputy Political Editor
16:00, Sat, Nov 15, 2025"A stitch in time may just save the planet as Britons’ nimble fingers do their bit to prevent 1.4billion garments from going to landfill. Nearly one in three adults (32%) have thrown away new clothes in the last years amid the rise of fast fashion.
"But retired nurse Debbie Kennedy, 60, is among the people who have joined a #RepairCafe where clothes are #mended. She described how attending the #GreenerAndCleanerHub’s #knitting and #crochet group in #Bromley, London, has also helped 'repair those bits of me that have been broken along the way'. Ms Kennedy said: 'As I was approaching retirement after 40 years of nursing, I wanted to ensure that I continued to feel productive and give something back to the community and maintain my health and wellbeing.' "

#openbsd #amigurumi #crochet #fiberarts #blowfish #christmasgifts -
so i learned that the nalbinding stitch that i use worked flat gives me a very similar space as garter stitch, but wider? and with one row instead of two.
the sample here is increased 2 stitches at the pink markers and decreased 2 stitches at the blue markers without a "knit all" row in between as the single needle knotted stitch seems to incorporate it.
when i tried it with the extra full row, the mitered bits were not as sharply defined, so i'm going to see what happens by making an EZ Surprise Scarf with this method and seeing how the stripes work out. then it's casting on a Surprise Jacket time!

Hello there, fellow fediverselings 👋
After many years of making fibre art (mainly crochet amigurumi) for my family, my friends and myself, I’m in the process of creating Srigurumi¹, where I sell my hand-made creations (custom-made according to your wishes or things I have already made) and teach crochet 🎉
Here’s Srigurumi’s website: 🧶✨ https://srigurumi.art ✨🧶
At the moment it lacks a gallery and an English version (only the Hebrew one is currently available). I will add both in the near future, so feel free to follow this account for updates and photos of cute things made of yarn 📰Also, I recently discovered blackwork embroidery and I’m totally enamoured 🪡
So maybe I will post about this as well when I create something worthy…
(If you don’t know what blackwork embroidery is, search it on your favourite image search engine and be amazed… 🤩)— Maja
~~~~~
¹ A compound of the Hebrew word סריגה /sriˈga/ (which covers both knitting and crochet) and the Japanese word 編みぐるみ _amigurumi_ (crocheted stuffed toy).
