Fibrations was a great success. We had wonderful weather and a great turn out to Victorias' Fibre Arts Festival. There were over 40 vendors, with fibres, handwovens and gadgets such as a one hundred year old sock knitting machine. They were designed and built in the late 1800's, but more widely put to use during WW1. The women could earn money knitting socks for the soldiers. The women who signed up to do the knitting would receive a machine and some wool. Two weeks later they (not sure who they were) would come and collect the knitted socks.
There were weavers, felters and lots of sumptuous yarn to knit and weave.
I demonstrated Kumihimo Braiding and promised to post some web sites and some info.
