Saturday was the 2016 Fiber Education Festival and first off many many
thanks to all who spent time before and after, setting up and packing
away the site. Somewhat abbreviated this year by a fairly intensive
downpour and some spectacular winds the first 3 hours went really well.
Inside the 40 x 60 tent everything from the sheep shearing to fine
products were on display with active demonstrations throughout. Outside
the tent there was the earth loom, dyeing and circular knitting
demonstrations and the R&M Yarn shop was open limited hours. We
had catering this year which unfortunately was at the 'weather' end of
the tent, but those that did get in early for their lunch/snacks did
seem to enjoy the food before we closed up early for safety and while
things were still fairly dry! Thanks again to the guild members who
took time to demonstrate. We will be looking forward to greater success
next year.
The Activity Books were popular and we have some donated prizes already. The draw will be held at the next meeting on the 21st of May
Look out for photo's soon
