Several years ago, Lacy Letonoff of Lewes, Delaware, visited our shoppe and purchased a varied quantity of vibrantly-coloured yarns, promising that she would make them look good together! A master intarsia knitter, she has obviously been knitting up a storm with our Bellemeade yarn...please take a peek at the photos of the gorgeous sweaters she has been knitting with our yarn. Please check out her Etsy site at:

The contribution from the Bellemeade Farm Shoppe is a 11” x 14” framed felted picture titled "Pond Hockey." These wool-filled bears have awoken from hibernation and will soon be living in the shoppe and looking for new homes!
March is out like a lamb here at Bellemeade Farm. We've been busy dyeing up a storm on the farmhouse woodstove, and here's a sneak-peak of our latest yarns! Happy Easter!
What better way to start off a new week than with a fresh, new warp on the loom? This bamboo warp (destined to be scarves) is being woven in plain-weave with a blend of alpaca, cashmere and silk yarns, with some hand-manipulated loop pile thrown in for a bit of extra texture! We've been busy this winter knitting hats, mittens, scarves, and slippers to have the shoppe overflowing with woolly goodies before summer! These are our popular Icelandic berets - they're just waiting to have their brims crocheted and to be washed and blocked into a beret-like shape.
In a few days, they'll be tagged, priced and sitting in the shoppe, looking for good homes! |
