Attending the SAFF show in Asheville this weekend was a real eye opener. Not unlike a large quilt show with huge numbers of vendors.......minus the quilts. I had NO idea about this dedicated industry.
This view can only give you a glimpse of the vendors, selling everything to do with animal fiber; yarns,
rovings, raw wool, all kinds of equipment and materials. I got a good education from the very helpful and instructive vendors. Many took the time to have ongoing demonstrations which I found fascinating.
This little pigmy goat created quite a crowd.....he was really adorable.
The facilities are a bit
awkward for the workshop, but that didn't faze these students in a spinning class.
Besides purchasing animal fiber.....one could even purchase 'the animal!'
More pictures coming tomorrow....
