Ewes, who are guarded by a Great White Pyrenees whom I did not photograph!
I also visited two fiber artists, but did not get photos. In Rockland I stopped by Maine Island Rag Rugs, where weaver Mary Ann Small has a wonderful fairytale studio with her loom and a display of colorful rag rugs sits in a beautiful shed built by her husband and surrounded by lovely gardens.
Last stop of the day was Botanical Shades, where Jodie McKenzie dyes some wonderful hues on beautiful wool and wool/mohair blend yarns that are stunning! She is in between homes right now so I cannot give her address! Hopefully she’ll be settled soon!
