This past weekend was the very first of many sheep and wool festivals. This was the CT Sheep and Wool. It was their 100th anniversary. It is not a huge festival but a very neat one, nevertheless. My mom, Cheryl and I headed out on Saturday around 7:30 and arrived around 9:30, parked and walked around. We met up with Lynne and Lucia and chatted and shopped with them for a bit. I want to learn how to Navajo ply so we went to a demo where Lucia took a turn at it.
I purchased some Unicorn Scour to clean the California Red fleece that Lynne, Lucia and I split, a mystery bump from Still River Mill and some bunny and alpaca roving. My mom bought some beautiful sock yarn and a very handsome ink drawing of a barn.
Of course there were animals, alpacas, llamas and sheep. This is Wild Bill Cody, a very handsome llama that was afraid of a child in a stroller. A great time was had by all.
