I haven't been for a couple of years, so I'm really hoping it will work out this year. Hubby loves sheep herding trials, so there will be something for him as well.

 

I went one year and got all kinds of wool and discovered when I began working with it that I was allergic to them all -- mohair, alpaca, sheep, rabbit.

 

I bought dyed ribbon from this vendor. Her stall is always crowded:

Sounds like fun! Wish I could go! Enjoyed visiting the website. TFS!

I can hardly wait! I already requested the weekend off for this! I went just one day last year and even though it was cold and windy it was a complete blast. I even met a couple of ladies from my regular knit/crochet group and we had even more fun together. Hope to see some Crochetvillers there this year.

I'll be there! Not sure if we are going on Saturday or Sunday but can't wait! I got some great yarn last year and really enjoyed looking at all the different breeds of sheep. One day I want to have a bigger farm than we have now and raise sheep for wool!

I've never been but, I'll be there Saturday...is there any vendors that carry all cotton?

I don't know....there are all kinds of vendors with all different yarns and fibers so there's a good chance there will be!

Wish I could go But hubby has to work this weekend and I am NOT taking 2 kids to something like this where they (ok and me too!) will want to touch everything. Besides, without hubby, I will come home with more yarn than our bank account can handle!

I can understand that! Last year I went with hubby and a sulking 16 yr old....he was not happy about being there. So this year, he stays home and I'm going to enjoy myself! (he's a great kid but all yarn looks alike to him...)

OMG I am so exhausted I went to the festival today. Lots of yarn I even wore a sign I made of yarn about Crochetville.(Yes I got permission from Amy) People read it but nobody said they were from the ville. Won't be there tomorrow just too tired and stiff.

I'm going today and I can't wait!! Did you buy yarn?

[Sockmad]

Lots! Wish you had been there on Saturday we might have met I was just too sore and tired to go today.

I looked for your Crochetville sign just in case! We had a great time and the weather was gorgeous. I got some yarn....but wanted alot more!! And I really want to learn to spin so I can go back next year and buy some of the roving that I saw. I got some Handpainted Linen yarn, a Leiscester wool yarn in earth tones, and 3 skeins of a wool/silk blend in a variegated shade of coral pink.

 

Glad to hear you had a great time too!!
