Local (and not so local) fiber stores

I came across an interview with Joan Sheridan, owner of Heritage Spinning and Weaving, somewhere. (Of course, I cannot find the interview now.) It led me to her store, and I am in love. We were in the neighborhood when we visited the Cranbrook Art Museum; too bad I didn't know about the store at the time. They will be at the Michigan Fiber Festival, though, so now I have an excuse to go to that.

We have several local fiber stores in the Fort Wayne area. One is Simply Socks Yarn Co which does most of its business online, but the storefront is open alternating Saturdays and Tuesdays. Another is Knitting Off Broadway, which of late has few hours, but is full of luscious yarn. And then there is Little Shop of Spinning, which hosts monthly spin-ins that I usually attend. While I have attended classes at all three, post-pandemic not much is happening in that area. Maybe I need to put a bug in someone's ear.

Knitting: Still plugging along on the ice dyed socks.
Spinning: Back to spinning the Wensleydale top; it's... unusual, so I am pre-drafting it.
Weaving: The buffalo plaid blanket is off to a slow start - the yarn is sticky - but I feel like I am on the way.

Now I am feeling dumb. I could not figure out why Joan Sheridan's name sounded so familiar. It's because I took a class from her in 2021 over Zoom; there is even a link to the store on my post. She has published several articles in Little Looms as well. Duh!
