One of the things we went to see was the 'Every Drop Counts' exhibition at the Off The Rails Gallery, which is in the old Dunkeld railway station. That is where I was last weekend, helping them to set it up.
It was very cool and we had lots of fun looking around the markets, though it was very hard to actually look at anything with the kids wanting to do a million things and cracking it if we stayed still for too long!
There were many stalls with knitted bits and pieces, a stall with alpaca yarn that a man was weaving into a scarf on a loom (kids were not as fascinated as I!), but I was bummed to not see any with yarn or fleece.
But then! Aha! During a quick scoot around with groaning children in tow (they wanted to go to the bouncy castle...) I spied a stall with bags of fleece and skeins and skeins of hand dyed yarn. I would have loved to get some fleece and yarn, but I didn't want to blow all our cashola. (Needed it for horse and carriage ride..)
So I settled for this hand dyed sliver of rainbow... very nommy.
Now I just have to get back to practising spinning so I don't kill it!!
oooooo, lovely!
