My friend Helen Sahadi owns a beautiful yarn shop in Belfast, Maine called Heavenly Socks Yarn. Helen is a lifelong knitter and is passionate about fiber but also about community. Her shop is chock full of the most delicious yarn. Not just eye candy, but lovely squishy yarn that you can take home and make something wonderful out of! It’s the middle of winter, the best time to grab your needles, find a pattern (loads and loads of great patterns at Heavenly Socks Yarn store!!) and start knitting! Take a field trip to Belfast, Maine and visit Helen’s shop…it’s the best!
Helen’s latest addition to her shop is an on-line store where she features Maine yarn from Maine farms. And, guess who’s being featured this month ( February, actually)…us here at Fernwood. You can check us out and Helens great shop and work here: https://www.fiberofmaine.com/

Fernwood Nursery & Gardens 
Wonderful article! Who wouldn’t want to visit Fernwood – for so many reasons.
Thank you, Rick. You can come and check out plants and learn to knit here at Fernwood!
I am planning to stop in this September on our way home from Cape Breton Island. I look forward to seeing your new studio and loading up on nursery treasures!
Hi Amy, It would be great to see you! We’re looking forward to another season and right now I’m knee deep in wool…dyeing, knitting, felting. Yeeha!
I got all excited and then I realised it was not Belfast in Ireland. lovely cosy post.
🙂
I was in Belfast, Ireland this Fall…i traveled up there from the farm in County Kerry. I really enjoyed Belfast, it was just before Christmas , so all the Christmas markets were happening. Delightful! If you’re ever in the states ( Maine), I’ll take you to our own Belfast…we’ll ride our bikes there!
Wonderful! What beautiful colors!
Thank you , Laurie! Do you knit?
Not really. I do know how, but all I have knitted are flat things, scarves and dish clothes.
Can’t have too many of either, I say!!
Congrats – lovely article. 🙂 Anyone who gets near that turnoff should definitely take the opportunity.
Thank you, Judy! And, on to Helen’s shop as well…plus, of course, Liberty Tool Company, and Liberty graphics, and David Jacobson Glass Blowing, and Threshers ( the pub)!!! All worth the trip To waldo County!
