- My spinning friend, Norah Sobeck, is looking for venues where she can sell
- her handspun yarns. Since she spins one fleece at a time and doesn't have
- her wool commercially carded (homogenized), the batches of yarn are too
- small to do well as mail order. She hasn't had much luck with the
- general Saturday Market in Portland -- the audience doen't seem to be
- specialized enough. Are there events where this type of merchandise is
- likely to do well? What is involved for the merchants? Any and all
- suggestions would be welcome; please e-mail me directly. I'll post a
- summary if people want. I have no financial interest in Norah's yarns
- and nothing to gain other than doing a favor for her.
