Here we are at Kelso farmers' market yesterday.  A little chilly out but we had hot chocolate and plenty woolly clothes to wear so we were okay!  The market is always well attended and yesterday was no exception.  We took the opportunity to tell everyone about the St Abbs Wool Festival - you can see the poster proudly displayed on the stall!  Remember it's next Saturday so we hope to see a lot of people coming to St Abbs to partake of the bracing sea air and of course all the woolly loveliness going on in the Ebba Centre!

I've just been updating the St Abbs Wool Festival page with a list of exhibitors and links to their websites, so please take a look and start making a list of things you just 

Well, we did Yarndale!  A fab festival with a huge turnout, so much woolly loveliness to squish and squeeze, I managed a couple of purchases, but we were so busy I didn't really get a good chance to see most of what was happening.  We sold out of buttons completely - but replenishments were waiting for us when we got home - just in time for The Kendal Wool Gathering next weekend!  So we have plenty stock for all our October events.
