This weekend, I went to a knitters, spinners and weavers fair called Fibre East - http://www.fibre-east.co.uk/Fibre-East/Home.html
and, apart from the MUD, it was really a good day out. I could have wandered around the marquees all day, just soaking up the colours and stroking the various grades of fluff <G>. But what I wanted to pass on was that there are wood turners in this field as well, making things they call tapestry bobbins; it strikes me that these would be useful if we wanted to make, say, lace shawls or scarves out of thicker yarn. One of the stalls was called IST Crafts - http://thewoodemporium.co.uk - he uses some beautiful woods. There are bound to be other makers, but this is the one whose card I brought home. You probably all know this stuff already, but for me it was one of those ah-hah! moments <G>.
