And so our 2019 show season draws to a close with a fab finale at Bakewell Wool Gathering and thank you so much everyone for making it a great weekend!
We had a brilliant time. Great organisers, lovely fellow traders and an, as always, a fabulous opportunity to meet so many people, old friends, new friends, FB and social media friends we get to see ‘for real’, chatting to customers and sharing lots of lovely hand-dyeing, knitting, crochet, handspinning and fibre stories.
The weather for loading and unloading was kind and the food was fab (I am assured it’s all calorie-free when you eat at shows, right?). I made some small purchases
Undoubtedly the highlight of the show for me was seeing the lovely Diane of Murmuring Wheel showing Pete how to spin on a Great Wheel.
And, not for Pete starting with a bit of gentle park and draft on a handspindle, he went straight in there! And with Diane’s expert tuition he did a pretty good job for his first every handspinning, too! (just don’t tell him I’ve never tried a Great Wheel despite spinning for over 25 years – ssshhhh 😉 ). Check out the man in action in the video….

We’ll be posting those stocking fillers and last-minute gifts (we’ve all been there!) for orders placed before 5.30pm on Monday 21st. However, although that is before the Royal Mail last posting date, we know they are even busier than normal so it may be that orders may not arrive in time for the ‘big day’. We are aiming to post orders placed on 22nd to 23rd on the 24th where in stock.
As it’s Christmas we are then taking a bit of a break and the shop will be closed until 4th Jan 2021.You may still place orders (simply close this window with the ‘X’ or escape to return to the shop) but we will not start dispatching orders until 4th January.
