Another exciting fall and winter yarn is here! Mowool is a fluffy fingering-weight – the newest addition to the Baa Ram Ewe brand. Mowool is made through an interesting process that produces a fluffy, mohair-like halo. The yarn is spun from luxuriously soft British wool that is then brushed after spinning to release the fibres for lightness and volume that also traps warmth in. This special brand is only available in our ALX shop, so stop by to touch this one for yourself!
Anyone else trying to stick to casting on only after their current WIP is finished? Danielle just finished her Reverse Loop Sweater and is excited to cast on her next project! If you want to enter our monthly FO giveaway just post your FO, tag us, and use #fibrespaceFO to enter!
Happy Juneteenth! Our Alexandria neighborhood is at the heart of Black American history. With so much history to explore in the mile around our shop, we encourage you to use this holiday to learn more about Alexandria`s Black History and participate in some local Juneteenth celebrations & remembrances.
Alexandria played a role in everything from the very beginnings of the transoceanic slave trade to the forefront of desegregated public schools. 1315 Duke Street, now called the Freedom Museum, was once owned by Franklin and Armfield, the largest domestic slave trading firm in the US. During and after the Civil War, Alexandria was held by the Union and became a safe haven for those who escaped enslavement. In the summer of 1939, lawyer Samuel W. Tucker organized a peaceful protest at the whites-only library at 717 Queen Street.
Our city is rich with ways to learn about our history. Visit Alexandria.gov for information and resources, visit the incredible Black History museum at 902 Wythe Street, and book a walking tour with our friends at @manumissiontour to learn about our important local history.
