We spend Valentine’s weekend at the Imperial Hotel, Blackpool for the North West Winter Wool Fest. This is a brand new event on the yarn show calendar and it was so lovely to see lots of visitors, some familiar faces and some new friends.
The vendors were in 2 different rooms, the Louis Room and the Lancaster Suite which were down this opulent corridor off the main reception.
We wandered down the promenade on Saturday to stretch the legs and see some of the sights. It was bitterly cold, but perfect weather for wearing knitwear, and buying yarn.
The 2 day event was well organised, with lots of different products to buy, from hand dyed yarn on both wool and linen bases, project bags, chickens (who definitely had a hen party), pattern designers, fibres for spinning and weaving, drop spindles, macrame, ceramic and 3D printed yarn bowls. There was something to tempt you.
We would love to see what you make, so please share your progress on our social media channels.
It was so lovely to chat with lots of familiar faces and meet some amazing characters and hearing some very funny tales. We appreciate everyone who stopped by to say hello and took time to chat and also give us some ideas for other products to add to our ranges. Watch this space for new keyring designs.
Finally a massive thank you to Shirlry, Trevor and the team for hosting and creating an amazing event. I can’t wait for the next one.
