Handmade in New England
Handmade in New England Weekends with Yankee
Amy Traverso visits an acclaimed vineyard in an unlikely place--Barnard, VT. At Swans Island Company in Northport, ME, sheeps’ wool is hand dyed and handwoven to create one-of-a-kind blankets and scarves. In Mystic, CT, Richard Wiese hops aboard the newly restored Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction, just in time for the 400th anniversary.
