Wool fest

Hi again!!!! Ok, I haven't had that much time for blogging , so now I've finally got round to telling you about wool fest...

Wool fest is a kind of annual market where people from all over England come to buy and sell things fiberish from other peoples stalls.

In June sometime, me and my mum set out for the lake district (about a five hour drive from us). We arrived at a youth hostel absolutely exhausted and went to sleep. The next day we drove to wool fest. After some confusion with car parking we queued up to get inside.

There was loads of things inside, we didn't know where to look first! I had brought my camera with me and was happily snapping away at anything that was too expensive so I could try and make it when I got back. My mum was in absolute heaven, she spent a long time looking at (and buying) lots of amazing fiber. I bought quite a lot, I got a little bag of fiber which looked like it would make perfect hair for my wire doll, a beany frog, and we both got a present for my little sister, a needle felt fairy kit. There were some cool displays too, one with some pretty rare breed sheep ( the video on here is of an angry sheep when its partner went to the display!) and a really interesting one with some people wearing norse-inspired clothes they had made themselves out of various materials. Yes, I did take millions of photos but whether I will actually get round to making any of them I don't know...

My next post will be of my best woolfest photos, I couldn't fit them all on here!
