There are craft mar­kets that hap­pen occa­sion­ally like Craft 2.0 and the Knack, which we get suit­ably excited about at the time, but anoth­er mar­ket that hap­pens every week­end takes place on Sat­urdays in the under­ground car­park at Frank Kitts.

Usu­ally they have a mix of stalls, food and music, but tomor­row they have a par­tic­u­lar focus: 

“Won­ders of Wool” Mar­ket

Show­ing off the region’s fibre artists, spin­ners, fel­ters, knit­ters & weavers.

Includ­ing demon­stra­tions on spin­ning, weav­ing, crochet­ing as well as some spe­cific­ally for the kids.

Over 60 stalls, includ­ing:

  • Fel­ted hats, scarves & throws
  • Alpaca cloth­ing
  • Hand­woven nov­elty yarns
  • Hand-dyed spin­ning and felt­ing fibres
  • Cro­cheted items
  • Merino cloth­ing
  • Balls of wool, knit­ting needles, felt­ing needles etc

 The mar­ket runs from 10am-4pm, it’s under cov­er, and the organ­isers prom­ise it’ll be warm, so if you’re up for some yarn, you should def­in­itely go along and check it out, not least because my aunt will be selling off her huge stash of weav­ing wool (we’re all about the nepot­ism here, of course).
