Woolfest 2012

Well! What a weekend to hold this year's Woolfest! It was the wettest and windiest couple of days we've had in ages, causing all sorts of mayhem, closing railway routes, turning car parks into quagmires, and raising the spectre of the dreadful floods a few years back. Days for staying at home in the warm and dry!  


So many events were cancelled, but Woolfest did go on. As always, a great variety of wool and textile crafts on show, spinning, weaving, dyeing, knitting, felting, something for everyone, I think.

All kinds of organisations........... 

......of colours.............

.........of crafts.........

........of real-life cuties.......

.......and the quirky 'flock' project.............

......hundreds of pompom sheep ............

......made from wool and card........

.....by groups and schools and clubs, to celebrate and promote British wool.

I invested in scrumptious felt and buttons and lovely threads, as always, and had a great day. (Two days, actually, because I can never resist going back on the Saturday!)
