Text Box: Mother of Purl

Text Box: New for the 2010 season, Mother of Purl (The Coppersmith's Wife, Rolene Barnhart) will be carrying my yarn and roving at a number of historical events and yarn shows throughout the Midwest.  In addition to my yarn and roving, she also carries other brands of yarn plus needles, crochet hooks, spinning supplies and patterns.  
 
 
Mother Barnhart spinning at the Mother of Purl tent with baskets wool for sale behind her. 
When you visit Mother of Purl's booth, be sure to ask for "Suzy she Shepherdess" yarn and roving.  Her "Suzy the Shepherdess" yarn and roving is identical to the yarn and roving you will find at my booth and on this website, and all at the same price.  She goes to many more shows than I do, so while there will be some shows where we will both have a booth, there will be many more that Mother Barnhart attends while I stay home tending my sheep.  
 
You are encouraged to visit Mother of Purl at these events (Please note that dates in red are not yet confirmed):
