Maryland Sheep & Wool 2013: Gallery

It’s become a blog tradition: presenting some of my photographs from Maryland Sheep and Wool. Now that I’ve been going to fiber festivals for a while, the must-buy-all-the-yarnz frenzy has cooled somewhat, and I enjoy meandering around with my camera, admiring all the pretty things. Here’s some of what I saw:

Antique spinning wheel
Handspun yarn from prizewinners’ exhibit
Shawl from prizewinners’ exhibit
Table loom

signage

Handspun “art” yarn

Box of antique bobbins
Doll sweater; if you’ve never been to the show, each entry is graded and given comments by the judges, like those on the index card
Yet-to-be processed fleece from fleece sale
This fish hat cracked me up; I think it’s a Knitty.com pattern
Cable panel from an exquisite prize-winning sweater
More handspun from prizewinners’ exhibit; we noticed a huge increase in the number of handspun submissions
See what they did there?
Just in case you need a dried turnip to make a doll face
I think this is a Karakul but I could be wrong
From a booth selling vintage and reproduction textiles including weaving
You can usually walk by sheep being shorn, like this guy
Many unique spindles for sale

  1. Beautiful photos! Since this was only my second MDS&W trip I was still in the must buy all the fleeces I can fit in my car frenzy! It was nice to see some of the things I missed, like dried turnip heads. 😉
