Since The Fold opened in 1993 in Marengo, IL, we have provided everything the serious spinner or her frivolous sister could need, from spinning supplies to lessons. But our focus remains on the fibers themselves. The latent potential of each lock of wool, each length of roving and sliver, each perfect silk cocoon is fascinating. The hardware ?the wheels, drop spindles, niddy-noddies, books, knitting needles and all the rest ?are just the backdrop for the wonderful fibers spinners have available to them today.
When you walk into our fiber and yarn shop, whether on the Web or in Illinois, we hope you'll feel as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. We hope you'll find something you've dreamed of finding but never thought you would!
We carry a variety of knitting and spinning supplies, including:
• Spinning wheels
• Handspindles
• Carrying cases
• Knitting yarns
• Patterns
• Knitting needles
• Knit cards
The Fold is locally owned and operated by Toni Neil, who embarked on her journey into the world of fine wool over 34 years ago with the purchase of two goats, followed by two lambs. She learned to spin her lambs? wool after shearing, then started weaving and eventually knitting. Today she shares her love of fibers and yarn with you through the many workshops held at The Fold.
