Great event! Well worth braving the distance and narrow Welsh lanes to attend (of course, all the road that lead you there are winding…). Huge variety of stall-holders, and I found Sue Blacker’s wool school tutorial on Fibre Choice & Preparation (on the Saturday) wonderfully informative.She really knows her onions, and speaks with great clarity. For those wanting to put next year’s event in their diary, it will be 28-29th April 2012.
Is the sheep in this photo a Wensleydale?
