Adventurous Wool Alluring Yarn

Thanks for visiting the Cabin Spring Farm website.  
We hope you will come visit us at a farm event, fiber retreat, Ruckus Day, or when you are in the area.

Fiber Camp, retreats, and Ruckus Days at Cabin Spring Farm are opportunities to explore the properties of wool and all the things that can be created with wool fleece and yarn.

While you are here at the website, click on through and get a glimpse of what happens on the farm, and don't forget to check out our blog.

I Found It


I have been searching for a long time to find a larger drum carder.  A couple of months ago, a nephew who is majoring in engineering, said, "why don't you build a bicycle driven drum carder".  It took me two months to find that there is one out there!

see FARRR AWAY page for full information

 Ruckus Days

 If you are not familar with Ruckus Days, they are an opportunity to come out and make fiber friends and play with fleece and tools and try out new fiber techniques. It is hard to schedule a Ruckus Day this time of year because the Fiber Shed is not heated and I can't predict the weather.  If it looks like we are going to have a nice day on a weekend I will send out an email to those on our Virginia fiber enthusiasts list.  If you would like to be placed on this list go to the "contact us" page.
