2025 EVENTS

 Handmade Marketplace at Fairbanks Arts: Saturday November 30th, 10-5 in the Centennial Center at Pioneer Park! I love this event every year: there is a kids craft area courtesy of the Fairbanks Childrens' Museum, Santa visits, and the tree lighting ceremony in Pioneer Park closes out the event. It is a family favorite!

It’s Fiber Fest! This weekend is, without fail, one of my favorite few days of the year! Come by and see all the lovely humans, squish all the gorgeous yarn and fiber, be inspired by all the amazing art, eat all the good food, and have some of the best coffee in town (@thecrashcart_907 - so good!) 10-5 Saturday and Sunday in the Centennial Center at Pioneer Park. #fiberfest #14milefarm #alaskaland
Natural dyes somehow always give a cohesive palette! See you @fairbanksfiberfest next weekend! #naturaldyes #botanicaldyes #fiberfest #14milefarm #indigo #rudebeckia #onionskins #tansy #dyerschamomile #eucalyptus #knitterofinstagram #alaska
Tonight’s indigo pot! I love how you can see the fibers change color when you take them out. This is from the indigo we harvested from the dye garden on Saturday. #indigo #indigovat #dyeday #naturaldyes #botanicalcolor #blue
I AM an autumn! The leaves are turning gold across the hills, the fireweed is tufting, and the woods smell of highbush cranberries and loam. #autumn #14milefarm #alaska

Spinning Disco Fever by @fatcatknitsdyer at the guild today and indulging all my 90’s childhood Lisa Frank dreams. It’s basically unicorn fur and I’m desperately in love. Batts spun supported longdraw and I’m going to ply with the Polwarth braid spun supported longdraw from the fold. #spinstagram #spinster #imakeyarn #lisafrankvibes #discofever #fatcatknitsbatts #fatcatknits #14milefarm #majacraft #longdraw #supportedlongdraw #fairbanksspinnersandweaversguild

This sweater has taught me how to cable. It’s not much, but just enough to learn the skill and come to understand how it works. And cleaning out the studio I found a cabling needle in a box of gifted random bits that I didn’t know I had.

And cleaning out the studio I found a cabling needle in a box of gifted random bits that I didn’t know I had. And WOW does that one specialized little tool help so much and work so much better than just an extra needle! #blackthornsweater #handknit #nevernotknitting #sweaterknitting #handmadewardrobe #memade #cableknitting
It’s Tour de fleece time, and I’m giving myself a few moments at wheel. I’ve missed this meditation. And meditation is necessary whilst traversing these times. #tourdefleece #14milefarm #
Slow and incremental progress on this diary project. I’m loving the abstraction and the symbolism and the handwork and working both more graphically and more portably than I can on my floor loom. #stitch #applique #diaryquilt #thequiltynook #handwork #fiberart
I can wear these jeans again! And just in time. My other high waisted weekend mom jeans just tore extra in the knees. So they’re up next for the mending basket: I’m thinking embroidered flowers? #visiblemending #makewearmend #mending #stitch #slowfashion #cossstitch Also featuring a pillow made of a sweet patch by @addiebeststudio
Making progress on these pants! I got them from a friends closet purge with the holes in the knees. I know it’s a style, but it’s not my favorite style. I’m mending with handdyed 8/2 tencel yarn and I cannot wait to wear them. Just a little bit to go! #visiblemending #stitch #momlife #handwork #crossstitch #makewearmend #summertime
This skein of leftover BFL odds-and-ends was an absolute delight and will find a home on some pocket loom kits for Fiber Fest in the fall! #weaving #spinning #handspun #bluefacedleciester

Zeus and the Mount Olympus collection from @hilltopkatie 12 days of Christmas collection. I’m just a liiiiittttttle behind in posting, I was actually keeping up with the 12 days spins this year! One big handdyed variegated skein in one of the softest most luxurious fiber blends I’ve touched in my life and 11 mini skeins of a merino silk combo so soft it feels unreal. I don’t have immediate plans for them, so you’ll see them in the shop eventually! #handspun #12days #makingyarn #fiberart #alaska #14milefarm #handspinning
