Kendal Wool Gathering

Weaving Friends Sales Table

This was the very first Kendal wool gathering (Sat and Sun).  I went along today to support The Weaving Friends of Farfield Mill.  Weaving Friends were demonstrating weaving on table looms and and a small tapestry loom.  I was spinning.  Got the chance to have a look around the stalls, quite varied, some I hadn't seen before.  I suspect that's because some of these were smaller suppliers/makers not able to justify the cost of a stall at Woolfest or similar.

One of the Whynot Alpacas

I had a tip off from my other half that a long standing (but rarely met) had "got into Alpacas" - and was surprised to meet up with Isobel and Peter today.  Lovely Alpacas and lovely alpaca goods for sale.  Alpacas have such pretty faces, don't you think?

I also bumped into a former work colleague and his very inquisitive daughter :)

Such a nice day.  Took a few pictures, but the lighting in the hall was pretty bad (and it was a wee bit drafty)

And finally, Porn for Spinners.......................
