Miriam's Well / Santa Fe School Of Weaving — Local services in Santa Fe

What a gem! I took my yarn crazy, fiber artist wife to Miriam’s Well and was astounded. Miriam was the sweetest lady with the knowledge of the ages. She has such an interesting story, and is willing to chat and assist as long as you want. Her selections of yarn include Alpaca, Merino, Silk, Angora, Cotton, Wool, and much more. Most of her fibers are natural with a few low percentage blends of nylon. If you are looking for cheap yarn for stock, go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels. If you want to indulge in luxury fibers that grace the body with a heavenly texture, seek out Miriam’s Well. It is tough to find and parking is not accessible from the main road.

My friend Linda and I visited this beautiful shop, yes it was difficult to find but totally worth it. We walked up to the shop it's name delighting me. I had no idea what I was in store for, thought we were going to look at yarn. Ha! I have never seen such lovely yarns, original garments, a student weaver and then talking to the owner. What a gem! She was like a peaceful breath of fresh air, with knowledge beyond comprehension. I'm so glad she's only 150 miles from Pagosa Springs as I will visit this incredible place on my next visit to Santa Fe.
