You can find the details here: http://theblacksheepspinners.weebly.com/the-wool-experience.html (http://theblacksheepspinners.weebly.com/the-wool-experience.html) I've been wanting to go for ages and always something has stopped me so this year I'm determined.

Ah - sheep sh!+e and straw on the floor  :thumbsup:   That's my kind of place  ;D .  Looks to be plenty of local work, without the big boys being there.


I'll look forward to hearing about it Leslie.  Have fun and enjoy yourself but don't spend too much.  No, on second thoughts, those are mutually exclusive, and you can never spend too much on woolly stuff  :eyelashes: .  Spend lots  :spin: :sheep: :knit:

I was going to say I will prove you all wrong but I hate telling lies.   :roflanim:  It'll be my OH's fault if I do buy any though. I asked him to come with me and he said no. He's only got himself to blame if a car full of fleeces comes home with me.

Guess what? I only bought one - a Whitefaced Woodland shearling - and 100gm of Gotland. And that wasn't just because OH came with me after all. He wouldn't have minded me buying more if I wanted to.

I'm sure you'll enjoy the WFW :thumbsup:

How come nothing else tempted you?

You did have an ice-cream, though, right?  :yum:

Ya-hah I knew you wouldn't be able to deny yourself at least one fleece  :spin: :thumbsup:

Double scoop, Pistachio and almond and one of turkish delight ice cream.


And lots of other things tempted me but I managed to resist until the very end.
