Snowshoe Farm, along with two other Vermont fiber farms, is eagerly awaiting our first batch of socks from our farms’ fiber. Early last year we joined with Vermont Grand View Farm and Stonesthrow Farm to combine our different natural fibers to produce what we hope will be a very nice mix for socks. We sent the mix of alpaca, wool and mohair to Zeilinger’s to be spun and knit into socks. The first batch of socks is on its way to us. We hope to have them in time for the Buy Local Market at the Vermont Farm Show on Wed, Jan 25 from 4 – 8pm at the Champlain Valley Fairgrounds in Essex Jct, VT.
Look for our socks – and perhaps more products in the future – under the Vermont Fibers label.

What a great idea! I bet the yarn will be totally awesome. 🙂
