There are 3 new pattern designs on display this weekend at Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool Festival. Please note, the patterns are NOT available yet but will be soon. They are them on display so you CAN purchase yarn for them!
This design is called North Bay Raglan.

Clever knits and purls create a woven-like, all over texture, top down unisex raglan. NBF Heritage really showcases that texture! The pattern is #sizeinclusive and even offers child sizes!
> Rhinebeck attendees can purchase yarn in person. North Bay Fiber will be in the Zeilinger Wool Co booth ( located in Building 31 / Booth 32⁣ )
> Not going to Rhinebeck? My next online update will be Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at noon eastern.⁣ You will be able to purchase yarn then!
