Welcome to Ursula's Alcove, the online catalog for fiber enthusiasts.
The store is now divided into two parts. Fiber arts supplies from Ursula's Alcove are available
by phone order, the same way they have always been. Items handcrafted by Ursula are available
on etsy. Please feel free to browse both sites.
Sadly, items listed on etsy must be purchased on etsy. Items seen at festivals are only available
at the festival unless otherwise requested.
Ursula and the Alcove will be at Pennsic for the next
two weeks. Pennsic is like an annual convention for a non-profit group,
called the Society for Creative Anachronism, or SCA for short. We will
be open for business on again on August 16th.
Sadly, Folkwear has run into difficulties with the ancient Chinese Han Bok pattern. It's been tabled for the moment.
However, the Metropolitan Hat pattern is out and makes a really great summer hat. I recommend using hemp fabric which
has a number of things going for it. Hemp is natural and breathes so you don't sweat excessively. It offers
natural UV radiation protection AND it drapes nicely for this pattern.
People make mistakes! It's true. You start learning and can't figure out why the pattern isn't
turning out. It's frustrating because it's not you. It's the pattern. So if you bought a book from
us published by Interweave Press, you can check out the Corrections
page to get an update. Ecclesiastical Pomp and Aristocratic Circumstance also has a corrections sheet.
Contact Ursula for details.
