road trip treasures

I was headed home from Albany after taking an test for my Anthropology class, and decided to see if the new (ish..it's been open a while but new enough nonetheless) yarn shop in Brownsville was open. I had been messaging a fellow Raveler about it on our Oregon knitting group and really wanted to check it out.

Friends, I introduce you to: The Brownsville Stitching Parlor.

 The Proprietor, Jamie Kampfer, is on the left, showing a nice lady a new technique at the lesson table.

                          One of the displays featuring beautiful hand made clothes for dolls.

               The floor loom for teaching. The weaving hanging on the edge were wonderful!

There is a local sheep owner whose rovings you see.Classes are held to learn to spin and weave.

                         An overall view of the shop. Jamie has a wide array of brand names.

Outside the front door. It is a very old Pioneer town, and the building has been wonderfully preserved.

The shop is located in this building.
