Woodstock Fleece Festival

Oct. 17, 2015 was the Woodstock Fleece Festival held in Woodstock, ON, Canada. I had the opportunity to visit the booth of Willow Farm where they had beautiful Icelandic fleece, of which 3 came home with me. Over the next 3 days I scoured all of the fleece, one at a time.

It washed up to be just beautiful!

Dark to light grey

Moorit

White with champagne
 Spent a couple of hours looking around, enjoying the fibre and colours of the wool.

The Oxford Weavers and Spinners guild held a weaving workshop making a 'Boho' handbag in cotton chenille. Lovely little pattern and everyone that attended had a lovely handbag.

Looking forward to Woodstock Fleece Festival in 2016. Every year it gets bigger and better.
