The range of attractive and bizarre animals and fowl was enormous. My special interest was of course the knitting and craft side of the show. Lots of sheep were there - and their wares! Various trade stands sold fleeces, yarns, finished jumpers and woven cloth as well as all the tools in order to turn a fleece into a finished jumper. more > > Diversions 610 Go!...619 ORACLE VIEWERS HOLIDAY OFFERS 378/9 Go!

Most of the rare breed yarns may be dyed either commercially to produce primary colours or with natural products to produce earthy tones. The natural colouring on the sheep was everything from deep creamy colour through to real rich browns and then surprisingly to jet black. more > Diversions 610 Go! ....619 Go!

I was very taken by hand spinning and it's possible now to buy a fleece at any stage of the process and "do it yourself" from carding, spinning, dyeing and finally knitting the wool. Also, small firms will card and spin your fleece and return it to you. How about spinning your own? A wheel costs from £150 and is very attractive. Buy them mail order, or try one out at a craft centre first. more > Diversions 610 Go!...619 Go! Reviews Your Money What's New
