Rigid Heddle Road Trips: Taos, New Mexico

As a weaving teacher, I have the opportunity to travel to weaving destinations all over the country. Rigid Heddle Road Trips let's you go along for the ride. In this edition, I take you to Taos, New Mexico, to visit the Taos Wool Festival and a few other neighboring fiber destinations. SHOW NOTES Taos Wool Festival, www.taoswoolfestival.org Note: The original show organizers, the Mountain and Valley Wool Association, has rebranded the show and moved to Santa Fe https://www.mavwawoolfest.org The Taos Wool Festival lives on in a smaller, grassroots format https://taoswoolsfestival.com, Vendors or Organizations I visited or featured*: Aniroonz Sheep Co, www.aniroonz.com Bristol Yarnworks Studio, www.bristolyarnworks.com Elsawool, www.wool-clothing.com Hougen's Mountain Grown Lamb and Pelts, www.haugenslamb.com Lana Dura, www.lanadura.com The Natural Twist, www.thenaturaltwist.com Rocky Mountain Natural Colored Sheep Breeders Association, www.rmncsba.org Tierra Wools/Shepherd's Lamb, www.handweavers.com/www.organiclamb.com North American Shetland Sheep Association, www.shetland-sheep.org The 100th Sheep, www.the100thsheep.com Walking Rain Studio, www.walkingrainstudio.com The Oveja Project is still developing its website.

To learn more about heritage breeds, check out The Livestock Conservancy and their new Save 'em to Save 'em initiative, www.livestockconservancy.org *The vendors that I did not visit or feature are no less noteworthy, I get pretty wrapped up in conversation, and I tend to visit the few over the many. I encourage you to visit the festival and find your own route. Each booth has a story and a treasure.
