After our adventures with the Alpaca's, we were soon to discover an Aladdin's Cave of woolly treasures. Given a washing basket each to utilise for collecting our goodies, my partner in knitting crime and I were left to browse what the shed had to offer us. We spent a leisurely hour handling the softest of fleeces, digging through tubs of yarn, and diving into bags of the most beautifully dyed fibres...
~ Only the beginning ~
~ Kristin shows us her range of coloured felt batts ~
~ Alpaca yarn made from the fleece of Gary's own Alpaca's. Complete with the animals name! Now who wouldn't want to knit up some cozy winter socks from "Mr B"s fleece! ~
~ Sample bags ~
~ An entire wall of dyed Merino fleece ~
~ Do we really have to leave? ~
As we drove away with our bags for goodies, it was agreed that the pilgrimage to Feltfine was definitely worth it! If you aren't able to visit in person, I would seriously recommend checking them out online - they post worldwide! It feels so good to be supporting a local 'home grown' business.

I am not associated with Feltfine, nor have I received any benefit from mentioning them. I paid for all the products myself. I just want to spread the word when we find great local businesses amongst like minded souls!
