#LoveLocalWool

A little rough-around-the-edges and earlier than usual episode due to impending hols. edited for coughs and splutters but not for "ums" (I umm a lot, usually)

• WoolFest is next Friday & Saturday (27-28th) and if you haven't been before I have  a tip or two for you.

The Teesdale yarns - Teeswater ???m/100g and BFL 4ply ???m/100g cost £20 each and will wow woolfest (meterage tbc)
