    Got to love the natural fibers, dry or wet they will keep you warm. Lots of sheep, alpaca and goat farms here in this neck of the woods . Enjoyed 👍👍

      Thank you Henry!! My BFF swears by natural fibers for warmth and dryness too. I just usually can't get past the itchiness.

      It was all fantastic. I'm a little nervous about trying to use such nice yarn for a project. Thanks for stopping by!

    G'day Dawn.
    Looked like a great day.
    I grew up on a sheep farm.
    Goats were always 'bad news'.. Rouges.
    I spotted the sexy frogs..🐸 at the basket stall.🐸
    We have our big Field Day on this week. We are going Thursday.
    Great video.. 🦘🌷🦘

    I haven't been to a fiber festival in forever, thank you for sharing your outing! I'm feeling the itch to spin again!

      Mrs Edge?! SO good to see you. I don't think I could ever learn to spin (the coordination in my hands is so bad) but those Goats and their fleece! I couldn't stop touching them. I had an amazing day and I'm glad you enjoyed going along.

    A good friend of mine, Sarah, is a ridiculously talented fiber artist. I have been gifted a couple things over the years that are treasures. Good yarn from small artists is a nice find, but finding the community behind it is even nicer. I am delighted to see you had a nice day out!

      Thank you Grumpy Grunt! I'm glad I got myself up and out to the show. It was an amazingly good time. And yes.. the community was super awesome. I really don't like to socialize and be out among people, but I kept thinking "these folks are as awesome as the knife community".

      @@DawnRaeB it’s a sheep shed person who picks up the fleeces and rounds up the sheep for the shearer . In Layman‘s terms, it’s a slave 😆 😆 but bloody good coin $$$

    I forgot to mention that I’ve got one of those woven baskets .
    Got it at a festival up here many moons ago
    We call them market baskets ❤❤❤
    Mine would be over 15 years old and I’ve even taken it packed full of everything on the boat
    Great quality still looks brand new
    I paid a pretty penny for it but it’s still tip top
    I just got the natural colour with long stuff ish leather handles
    I’d love to get a multi coloured one with the shorter handle
    I should take a picture to show you
    It was definitely an investment that has paid it self off
