As always we had a wonderful array of varied stalls selling yarn, fibre, beads, notions, crafting tools and beautiful hand-made woolly items.
You can see some pictures of the event anddetails about all our lovely stallholders below.
4 Sheepish Women
4 women who keep sheep bring the woolly products of their holdings to market, including ‘vegetarian’ sheepskin rugs and tuffets, peg loom weaving products and yarn. The yarn is spun from Shetland, Greyfaced Dartmoor, Welsh Mountain and Zwarbles sheep from a holding on Dartmoor. The ‘vegetarian’ sheepskins (made by shearing the sheep and then felting the back of the fleece, so nobody dies in the process) and peg loom weaves are from Cornish holdings, including rare breed fleeces.
Alpaca Yarns
Suri are the 'rare breed' of the alpaca world with different fleece and fibre characteristics to the more common huacaya alpaca. Alpaca Yarns have fine suri alpaca fleece for spinning, natural British suri alpaca yarns for knitting, crochet & weaving in balls and on cones. The yarn is spun in a UK mill specialising in suri and in a worsted process. Also some great knitting and crochet kits to make stylish accessories & exquisite handcrafted items.

Again using small oddments of yarn for stripey baby beanies, blankets and mittens.
