A year’s clean break will give us more opportunity to refresh the event for the future and time to find a suitable venue and dates. Two things will NOT change – our focus on bringing value to wool and our determination to present a friendly and high-quality event. 2of2

[Woolfest Cumbria @WoolfestGB]

At a recent meeting of @TheWoolClip Clip co-operative, we discussed our ideas and our research into new venues and available dates for Woolfest. We have decided that there will not be a Woolfest in 2022, neither “live” nor online. 1of2

An obituary for Sue Blacker of @blackeryarns and @NatFibreCo appeared in Saturday's @guardianobits . Many Woolfesters will have met Sue and sat in on her fleece talks - she'll be much missed. https://t.co/YZESGzJfFP

Looking forward to seeing you later today, @ripplescrafts . Yesterday was a bit crazy but at least some stallholders seem to have done well and this morning has a certain livestock theme with lots more stallholders this afternoon.
