We traveled north one day in search of fiber arts galleries, tours, and yarn, but found the New Mexico Fiber Arts Trails website is sorely out of date – by as much as 6-8 years. Artists that used to participate in the fiber trail no longer do so, or artists still in business are closed for the winter season. However, we did have a lovely drive exploring hwy 84 north from Santa Fe to Tierra Amarilla and Los Ojos. We stopped at the Abiquiu Inn for lunch, then headed further north to Los Ojos where we discovered Tierra Wools was closed for the winter. On the way back to Santa Fe, we climbed to over 10,000 feet and traveled east across the Carson National Forest, then south on hwy 285 to Espanola where we discovered the Espanola Valley Fiber Arts Center full of local yarn, crafts, roving and many floor-sized weaving looms for classes.
