  BuenaSuerte (Emily Sappenfield - Round Rock):  make pretty string, both handspun and hand-dyed. My handspun specialties are unique fiber combinations and useable texture – the usable unusual.  My hand-dyed specialty is merino/Tencel:  an often under appreciated blend that offers incredible shine, softness, stitch definition, durability, and color.  In addition I make the ultra-durable Cavewoman Spindles (for beginners, travelers, and anyone who likes to bounce spindles off concrete)
  Together we are the best kind of fiber S.N.O.B.S!  Pick up a gorgeous and/or hilarious resin spindle from Laurel, select luxurious fiber from Andrea, and grab some string from Emily for a project for the ages!  You can find our booth easily at any festival – just follow the sound of laughter and look for people dancing.
