Mitzi, Carla, and I made plans to visit SAFF in Fletcher, NC for the last weekend in October. Carla took care of renting a very historic and charming house in Montreat. And Mitzi agreed to be the driver. I am the enthusiastic “moocher”…..Sally met us in Fletcher as she and her husband had already planned a trip there in their motor home.
SAFF is a huge fiber festival. Next year it will repeat its date of being the weekend after Reinbeck in New York.
We drove through the mountains of Kentucky as we chose to go the shortest route that is not necessarily the quickest. But it is definitely the most scenic. We drove down 23 past Lousa headed for Ashville. Montreat is a town next door to Black Mountain, NC. Black Mountain is a darling small North Carolina Mountain Village. Black Mountain is the Village that has grown up next to the neighborhood that includes Montreat Anderson College and the Presbyterian Conference Center that also goes by the name Montreat.

We arrived in Black Mountain about 5PM and decided to drive by the little yarn shop that Carla frequents during her summer visits to the area. It would probably be closed at 5PM, but we couldn’t resist. And lo and behold, it was not only open, but packed and jammed. Donna and Don who own the shop hosted what seemed to be half of the ladies who might be on their way to SAFF and stopping at the Black Mountain Yarn Shop on their way. (Well might seem to be half until the next day when we say how huge SAFF really is!)
The house was charming and the neighborhood at Montreat is lovely.
