Festivals - Yarndale

Yarndale is a “creative festival celebrating all things woolly and wonderful” in Skipton, Yorkshire.
This is the third year that the festival has run, and it was a lot slicker than the first year (we didn’t go last year). Our only problem was that we parked away from the venue which made getting there with the pushchair a bit tricky.

With everything from knitted and crocheted bunting...

...to the very animals that provide the fibre we spin, weave, knit, or crochet with...

I had a great time meeting stallholders, squishing yarns and fibres, and doing a little shopping.

fibreFab bag!My favourite purchase of the day isn’t strictly yarn related, as it’s a new bag. I love bags. I love Star Trek. So this bag blew my mind. I love it so much. It’s from Side Car Knits.

I was also pleased to meet the lovely Louise of Spin City. She’s really friendly and has some amazing stuff. Even if you don’t spin, go check her shop out because she sells handspun too!

(Note: I am not affiliated with either of the brands linked in this blog, I just love them both!)
