Join us for a whirlwind of textiles, fibers, yarns - and more! - as we travel to New York City and to the NY Sheep & Wool Festival (a.k.a. “Rhinebeck”) for a fiber-tastic adventure! We’ll stay at a grande dame of a hotel in the heart of the Upper West Side in NYC, conveniently located next to a hopping yarn shop, Central Park and more. The Ethan Allen Express will welcome us aboard as we ride the rails to Rhinebeck (knitting and enjoying the gorgeous foliage along the way!) and our decadent accommodations. Stroll into town, borrow a bicycle from the hotel, or hop in a cab - we’re staying just one mile from the fairgrounds! Included in this extravaganza are admissions to the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Arts & Design, the Ratti Textile Center at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and - of course - behind-the-scenes fiber-focused tours, admission to both days of NY Sheep & Wool, IndieUntangled and some delicious food. We strongly recommend packing an extra bag for all your yarns on this trip!
