There is supposed to be a vendor that has some unique crochet hooks in the small sizes like you use for thread. My purse may not open the entire time, but I do want to see what is being made in the area. The meetup group is going, so that should be fun! Also, noticed on Ravelry there are people coming that belong to that forum. We have nametags, maybe I should put my TXCL name on mine too! LOL! |

Well, an update! The DFW Fiber Fest was so overwhelming! The yarns, the yarns, the yarns! I had a great time touching! I was not able to buy yarns, I did get some tools and kits. I took some of my cat, Turbinado's hair to have spun, and that was so interesting! I had never seen yarn spun before! Anyhow, I got about two feet of kitty hair spun into yarn. Kitty imortalized! She does cat and dog hair. The vendor name was Spinning Straw Into Gold. It's in the original link.
I saw some handworked wood tools, a handmade bead company, a ceramic ball holder vendor(those were so pretty!), a couple of LYSs booths. Alpaca rovings? Where the coat has been cut but not spun? Some beautiful hand dyed yarns. I went back today, dragged Dh with me! Oh he had a LOT of fun, standing there watching me Drool! Anyway, I got two beaded knitted kits, some needles 0000, a ceramic mug. Then we went to Half Priced Books and I bought a couple of knitting books for less than $5.00. So, I am a happy camper tonight! |

WOW, I don't think I could have went thru without buying some of that yarn, but I know the feeling on the high price. At least you got some kits to work and there is some yarns in those
I would give anything if we had something like that here, it would be so much fun to go to one. I am so glad you had the chance to go and enjoy, and to get you some goodies  Bet hubby had fun too and just didn't say it

I'm glad you got to go. I've heard the Fiber Fests are amazing. Just visiting the spinning guild here was fascinating.
Great find on the books, too! |

The spinning was fascinating. It is amazing to think of people doing that way back. It is really time intensive! |

Glad you had a great time  and petting....
I love watching them spin yarn.. I have a top spinner but never took it out of the bag.
