So, what do you buy when your husband is a yarn dyer and you have a stash you can never hope to knit through BUT you are at and have a moment to quickly run through the other stalls??
I grabbed
- suri alpaca from
- pretty yarn from
- wool needle from

Wish I had time to look for more unique items, spinning fibre etc, but there is always next year 🤣
