A selection of books, fibres, yarns, books and equipment will be available for inspection and sale throughout the day. ( Credit and debit cards can be used). Advice on use of fibres is given if required. Wheels and plenty of time are essential to make full use of the day.
That is the blurb that is given out. What it is is a group of fibre nuts in a big room with all the fibre you can possibly dream of. Silk, wool, alpaca, cahmere, cotton, tencel...I picked up milk protien fibre and recycled milk cartons in previous days. These guys come to this area once a year and although they do an excellent mail order service, postage is not cheap. And it is a treat to see everything that is on offer. Can you tell I love this service? Am I giving you a clue here?
Well...when something is good, it is good.
Go if you can, it is worth it.
