We're Taking Part in Horsley Wool Fair This Sunday

Haven't blogged for a while as we've been having persistent and very annoying internet problems for quite a while now. Still it's working today so.........

We’re really excited to be taking part in our first Horsley Wool Fair this Sunday 4th September. This event is a real celebration of local British wool and wool products, combined with The Hearth resident artists’ open studio event. You’ll find wool yarn, equipment, fleeces, finished wool products, competitions and demonstrations. The Hearth also has an excellent cafe serving local and fair-trade food and drinks. It all sounds brilliant!
