Rhinebeck 2026: The Yarn, the People & Everything In Between!

** I totally forgot to insert the video of the house** **I mistakenly called Bare Naked Wool the Raw Wool Company** **Day two yarn stire was A Perfect blend not Perfectly Blended** Man i missed a lot of mistakes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ My first Rhinebeck! 🧶 Come along as I recap my experience at the 2026 New York State Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, New York! There’s so much to talk about! From the incredible yarn vendors and beautiful handknit sweaters to the wonderful people I met along the way, I’m sharing the excitement, the shopping, and the memories from my very first Rhinebeck. And yes, there’s a yarn haul! 😂 We’ll chat about the festival experience, the yarn and knitting treasures that came home with me, the people and vendors I encountered, and what made this trip so memorable. Whether you’ve attended Rhinebeck for years, experienced it for the first time like me, or have it on your knitting bucket list, grab your knitting and settle in for a visit! Welcome to Melissa Knits for Fun, where fun meets fashion in every stitch! 💬 Let’s chat! Have you ever attended Rhinebeck? What is your favorite thing about the festival?
