New Hampshire Sheep and Wool Festival

I love wool and fiber festivals and so I'm  lucky to live in New England. There are about eight shows that are within reasonable driving distance (including Rhinebeck!). This past week was the New Hampshire show. We (dear long-suffering husband and I) hadn't been to this one in two years so it was great to go.  One of the nice things about this show is the fleece sale. The fleeces are from 4H kids and the two that I have bought in years past were clean, clean, clean. I didn't get to the sale this year because I had already reserved a lilac fleece from Kisikanari's Jacobs and just couldn't justify another full fleece (gotta hate it and yes, it was painful).

It was pouring rain when we got there so the grounds were empty. My dear Aunt Polly wanted some kid mohair so I got about a 1/2 pound for her from Cobblerock Ridge Farm and I also got her a pretty Jacob fleece as a surprise. For me, I got the most delicious lilac Jacob fleece. As usual my photos are terrible, few and mostly of sheep. The last photograph is of the fleeces.
