Whidbey Island Fabulous Fall Fiber Sale
Paradise Found Farm is home to the annual Whidbey Island Fabulous Fall Fiber Sale (or WIFFFS). During the sale (which takes place rain or shine), fiber producers from the Northwest offer fiber in fleece, roving, and handspun yarn from locally raised llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, and other animals. They also offer quality handfelted, handwoven, and knitted garments; hats, scarves, shawls, and gloves in dyed and natural colors; Japanese kumihimo braiding; books, supplies, and class information. Throughout the day, there are demonstrations to watch, critters to visit, a reception tent to enjoy, and more.

Waldorf School third graders visit the farm
In November of 2009, we had a wonderful visit by the third grade class from the Waldorf School, which is located just up the road from us. They teach the kids about fiber beginning in the first grade, and being a fiber person, that puts a big smile on my face. The kids fell in LOVE with the animals and the animals fell in LOVE with them. Here’s more information (including some photos) about the visit.
