#RiverheadNY - Long Island #FleeceAndFiber Fair at #Hallockville #MuseumFarm

May 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

Hallockville Museum Farm
6038 Sound Avenue
Riverhead NY

Admission 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."

That’s it for now, I think. #HandSpinning #silk

This is still too thick >.<

The errors versus what actually went onto the bobbin 😜 #HandSpinning #silk

The finest silk? Not in this house. Silk is hard, you guys! 20p for scale #HandSpinning #silk

🕷️🕸️ #Spiders produce #silk by funneling #protein chains through tapering tubes and spigots that apply protective coatings. The process creates a material that remains flexible at low temperatures and rivals the strength of #steel.

In honour of today's Shed post, here is a short article on #spider #silk, its properties, history, potential uses, & fabric made from it. 😊

Intricate #silk helps net-casting #spiders ensnare prey in webs
Looped structures make webs that are both stretchy and strong
The web of the rufous net-casting spider (Asianopis subrufa) pulls off that feat thanks to looping strands that surround a stretchy silk core. Scanning electron microscope images revealed the #spider silk’s intricate structure.

🧵 Did you know a single silk shirt can represent the patient work of around 1,000 silkworms?

Each caterpillar spends days enclosing itself in a cocoon that is later unspooled and combined with many others to form fabric that seems to hold light within its threads.

If that image stays with you, follow the thread back to the full journey in the original article: https://TPC8.short.gy/sJNS1j5J

Please admire these two excellent thrift finds I made yesterday.

Blouse is Shoeby, 80% viscose 20% polyamide, with a totally unique silhouette and I look like an absolute smoke show when wearing it. Paid 25 € for it. Skirt is 100% silk with 100% polyester lining, has a tulip silhouette and honestly also makes me look hot as hell. Cost me 14€. Did not recognise the label, but it looks kinda vintage? Anybody familiar with it?
