This year Woolfest held a charity auction in aid of Farm Africa. The sheep were made by stallholders, guilds and visitors.
They were herded into 47 lots and judged with the top 4 given rosettes. They were then put under the hammer by Mitchell’s auctioneer – Adam Day.

There’s some skeins I’ve spun:
Blue-faced Leicester – something between lace-weight & 4-ply in feel. Tops from Andy (www.bluefaced.com), dyed by my friend Jan. I usually knit this into baby socks.
