Wonder wool and new stock.

We had a really good weekend at Wonder Wool in Wales. It was really nice to put faces to the names I see on online orders. The journey down was good, set up went like clockwork it was all going rather too well as I discovered when we got back to the caravan. As I had been busy building in the run up to Wonder Wool and dyeing wool ready for the event certain usual steps in event preparation had been skipped to save time including checking the gas appliances worked and as we sat in a cold caravan on Friday night I discovered the fire didn't work: thankfully we had packed hot water bottles.

Here is the stall all set up and ready to go.

I have updated the website and the new batts and teeswater fleece are available. Later this week painted tops, woollen blanket and dyed fleece will be updated. The fleece is drying as I type.
Yesterday was Hovingham market a really good market but cold again and rather windy. I was abit concerned about keeping the stock on the market stall, I think the trickiest part of the operation was putting the table clothes on  the stall. I think I will spend this week making stock for Hovingham Market next month and Staithes Arts and Crafts Centre.
