Grab your knitting and a cup of tea—we are going to Blackpool! 🧶
Join me for a walk around the amazing North West Winter Wool Festival. This event was incredible, and I wanted to take you with me to explore the stalls, chat about the vendors, and squeeze some beautiful yarn.
In this video, I’ll share with you the atmosphere of the show and the incredible variety of yarn on display. It is always dangerous for a knitter to be surrounded by this much temptation!
Stick around until the end of the video where I sit down to share my personal yarn haul. I didn't buy everything in sight, but I did pick up some very special skeins that I can't wait to show you.
