2009 Taos Wool Festival

October 9th, 2009

Last weekend was the Taos Wool Festival. I had a fabulous time!

I have a lot of photos from the weekend and will breaking them up into several posts.

This year the festival organizers provided Ravelry with a large meeting tent. Here’s Laura, Meredith, Tara and David getting together.

Meredith got attacked by a Dr. Who scarf. Pink Porcupine is behind her. She’s an Albuquerque knitter that I met over the weekend.

A clever way to advertise some fleece:

Check out these gorgeous felt scarves:

This is a rectangular loom for weaving scarves. Clever design.

Speaking of clever designs, this triangle loom was interesting. The vendor gave me a quick tutorial on how to use it. The warp and weft is done at the same time.

Abbey and Merce shared a booth this year.

Their booth was very colorful and groovy. I tried to visit in the morning and it was packed with people. I waved and came back later.

Here’s Merce wearing my Luna Valentine Shawl. It was fun to collaborate with her.

Normally I hate dolls but this needle felted skeleton figurine was quite cool.

I met a fellow knitter named Lauri at the Ravelry tent who had this gorgeous bag. She spun the wool, knit and felt it. Stunning!

A pretty pillow with great texture:

I liked the color in this woven poncho.

There was colorful yarn everywhere.

More to come soon.
