Woolfest

On Friday 22nd June I was given a lift up to Woolfest which is held
 at Mitchell's Auction Yard in Cockermouth. I like Woolfest because it is more rural than the other shows I go to and it always has a nice atmosphere with folk bands playing. It is always very colourful with stalls selling mainly wool and wool related products. There are also displays which can fill you full of ideas.







One of the more unusual things about Woolfest is that you can see some of the wool providing animals, including some of the rarer breeds of sheep.








As well as sheep there were neatly trimmed alpacas with their beautiful soft, warm, wool and angora rabbits.


With my shopping list in hand I was able to visit the stalls and stock up on items for my stash!!!!! A day well spent.
