Woollinn 2019
The last 6 weeks have just flown by, and I have completely forgotten to share my spoils of Woollinn.
This year's festival was the second event run by the owners of This is Knit, who I am lucky to call my friends and bosses. The vendors were a lovely mixture of familiar faces and new-to-me surprises. The teaching line up was a wonderful selection of people who really know their stuff, and who happen to be very nice people too. I was working on the This is Knit stand for the weekend, but took advantage of quiet moments to have a slow browse, or a mad dash through the market places.
The results of Friday's shopping through the indoor market place, in which you may sense a recurring theme. This bag of yarn smelled deliciously sheepy, as most of the yarns are undyed. I may have spent some time sniffing this collection.
L-R :Westwool Bicycle, Biches & Buches Le Petit Lambswool, Lanivendole, & more Biches & Buches.
On Saturday, I had a bit of a mad dash through the marquee, having done some research before hand.
I'm sensing another theme here.
L-R: Dye Candy mixed fibre batt, HeyJay yarn minis, Undercover Otter fibres, Dye Candy's Bród colour way (a woollinn exclusive), Fine Fish yarns Corriedale, Bear in Sheeps Clothing Gotland, GamerCrafting's Reverse Rainicorn, and fine wool from Toft (something I have been wishing for, since I first got my hands on Toft DK a number of years ago)
It might take me a while to make a dent in this.
Overall, my lasting impression of Woollinn was having lots of yarn-people, smiling. It was good.
