Kendal Wool Gathering

This morning I went into the Leisure centre in Kendal where there were displays and stalls of everything to do with wool including some of the animals.

There were also come chicks in an incubator.

There were lots of stalls full of beautifully coloured dyed wool tops and spun wool waiting to be knitted, woven or embroidered.

It was wonderful to see crafts which go back centuries still being practised.
I bought some lichen coloured curly fleece to take with me when I go to North Wales to take an embroidery workshop on Lichens.
