Store open on Fridays, 9am - 8pm, unless posted here otherwise. We are also open by appt. Welcome! I am enjoying living my dream.....a simple country life.

I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Pennsylvania and love simple, country life. I have always been creative and as a child I learned to crochet from my grandmother for whom it was a lifelong passion. After our family moved back to central Pa and onto a historic little farm, Walnut Farm Designs was born. The Lord has blessed me with more than I could have imagined by giving me a little business out of what I enjoy. We raise Blue Faced Leicester sheep and I look forward to being able to sell their excellent wool. These animals provide us with wonderful fiber and lots of entertainment. I love working with the colors of fibers and spinning yarn. There is always something new to try and enjoy creating here at Walnut Farm Designs! Our products are available online at our Etsy store, Walnut Farm Designs at www.etsy.com/shop/walnutfarmdesigns

This blue yarn skein hair clip and thread spool hair claw clip are too adorable! These are really strong and well made. These two are a little smaller than the larger yarn ball hair claw clips. All hair clips are only available on my website store and physical store. I have to find time to divide products into 'collections' on my website to make things easier to find!

I got obsessed with these yarn hair claw clips!!! So cute! I had to get them in the store! They are really well made and strong with a tight hold on your hair. These hold all my hair up securely, and look really cute. These are available only on my website store and my physical store, and remember that you get 10% off automatically on my website store. I will put the link in the comments.

Check out how beautiful this customer's yarn turned out with a natural dye jar refill of Logwood and Madder root!! It's so beautiful in the jar! I think the 2 natural dyes work best in a tall, narrow jar like this, with one dye on the top and one on the bottom. When I started selling these jars, I was able to get a taller, narrower plastic jar, but I can no longer get 1/2 gallon plastic jars that aren't short and squat. So, a half gallon glass jar is best for these 2 color natural dye refills. This makes a great present and it is fun to have this color jar sitting on your windowsill during the winter, helping you dream of color and summer! If you buy the refill, you get everything you need, except the jar, and it is easy to buy a tall glass jar like this, which works best for 2 colors of natural dyes. I really enjoyed seeing these pictures! I will put the link to the refill in the comments, both to Etsy and my website. I also sell Indigo Dye jars and Indigo Dye Jar refills. Again....easy to get a glass jar, which I like better than the plastic 1/2 gallon jars that I get. I just get the plastic because I have to ship them.

BFL/Silk blends always dye beautifully with either acid or natural dyes. This colored Blue Faced Leicester wool and Grade A Mulberry Silk blend will dye up to give a heathered depth to your colorway because of overdyeing the wonderfully heathered natural color. I have just 6lbs of each in stock right now and I have the white and the oatmeal BFL blend listed in 4oz quantities or 1lb. quantities. I will put the Etsy link and my store's link in the comments. 10% automatically taken off at checkout on my website.

'Blue Heather Tweed' is a blend I've had before which is 66% Merino wool, 17% Natural Gray Corriedale Wool and 17% Sari Silk. Who doesn't love a heather.....the natural gray Corriedale wool gives this blend extra dimension. Great for felting or spinning. Links to Etsy and my store which has an automatic 10% off applied at check out.

'Emeralds in the Moss' is a new blend of 50% Superfine Merino, 33% Natural Black Shetland and 17% Sari Silk. This blend is soft because of that superfine Merino wool, but with interesting heathered depth from the natural black Shetland wool in the blend. It is an olive green blend highlighted with emerald green sari silk. Every shade of green is my favorite color, and emerald greens always delight my soul. Links will be in the comments, though it seems Facebook is warning me about putting links in the comments as well. 10% discount automatically applied when you purchase from my website. I'll be slowly working on my website to make it easier to find things.

'Midnight Fiesta' is a new blend of 18.5 micron, Superfine Merino wool and sari silk. This blend is very soft. Superfine Merino wool needle or wet felts very easily, so this blend is great for felting or spinning. Links for Etsy and my own store will be in the comments. Remember that you get 10% off automatically when you purchase from my own store. I need to work on organizing my products on my Shopify store so it is easier and more clear to search and find what you are looking for! We got my Shopify store live, but I haven't had time to make 'collections' the way I want to have them yet.

New blend in 23 micron, Natural Gray Merino Wool. 'Gray Sheep with a Wild Streak'. 83% heathered natural gray Merino wool and 17% Sari Silk. I like how this blend turned out! I love a heathered wool and pink always makes me happy! It's a striking blend! Link to this in Etsy will be in the comments, and I'll put a link for my online Shopify store as well. I need to get time to make Collections in my Shopify store so it is easier to find what you are looking for!

My own online store is up. The big thing to know is that you get an automatic 10% discount on everything in your cart. The link is in the comments. I was going to use SquareSpace because Square is integrated with Etsy and I was using that already, but SquareSpace does not show pictures of products when it shows search results. So that was a big reason, among others, why I decided to change to Shopify. I haven't had time to get really familiar with Shopify yet, but my husband uses it for his Walnut Farm Bees business, so he switched it over for me, and I will need to learn and tweak things to understand how best to make sure my inventory is kept accurate between the two platforms.

Have you seen the Spin Twin Thread Oracle? It's like a diz with teeny holes, or a button with teeny holes to control the amount of wool that goes through the hole to create consistent yarn. It isn't for sale yet, but there is a youtube video about it. Just look up Spin Twin Thread Oracle on Life in Walnut Hollow's channel. I would be interested in trying it. I usually do a decent enough job, but my last spun top, I was in a hurry to cast on, so sometimes I knit and spin the yarn as needed. So, I needed a little more yarn and I got a little carried away with how thin I spun it when I spun the extra yarn. It was noticeably thinner, and I can see it, but most people won't notice it unless I point it out, and then you can definitely see it. I think a 'diz' on my drafting space at my fingers might be annoying, but I would be interested in trying it! I'd share the link, but Facebook is not allowing me to share more than 2 links a month unless I pay. I think limiting the ability to share information easily is not the right move for Facebook. It hampers the quick and easy sharing of information, which is why we use Facebook. The Thread Oracle is not available for sale yet. I think I saw that it would be available in January. I'd have posted a picture of it, but there is no website for it, and only the youtube video, which I can't share the link to!
