Ben and I went to New Hampshire yesterday. Our destination was the Dorr Mill Store<\/a>. It is about a 2 hour drive from our house, it was a beautiful day, the fall colors are just beginning and I’d heard good things. I wanted to check it out.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, it was good.<\/p>\n

\"wool\"<\/p>\n

Here is the silly thing- I feel guilty buying fabric this way! I make most of my dolls from thrifted or salvaged wooly goodness but sometimes I just need to go somewhere with colors on bolts. Well, some of this did come from their small pieces bin so that can be guilt-free.<\/p>\n

I have a hard time finding wool that is a good color for brown skin. What I find at the thrift store is too dark. I was completely out. I was also very low on my pink skin colors and hadn’t found any after several trips to various thrift shops. And, the problem with all the thrift store shopping is, I come home with other stuff. And then I need a place to put it. The skin color wools were my reason (excuse) for the trip and I am very happy with what they had. I also managed to find other goodies as you can see. Everything is washed and soft and ready to use. Bee-u-ti-full!<\/p>\n

I had a few fantasy wools I was hoping to find, but no luck- an even black and white stripe, a heathery olive green and\/or a herringbone olive green. I’ll just have to keep looking.<\/p>\n

Here are some store photos-<\/p>\n

the main fabric room-<\/p>\n

\"room1\"<\/p>\n

Another room with kits, patterns, and over-dyed wools. Also a big collection of Gail Wilson<\/a> kits and dolls.<\/p>\n

\"room2\"<\/p>\n

and more-<\/p>\n

\"room3\"<\/p>\n

It was definately worth the trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
