Pictures from the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, 2014 (3)

So here we are again .......... in the Barn of the colours and yarn ... !

And so we got to Susan's Fiber Shop
And this rather amazing piece, with the knitting in the middle and all the tassels, was on show at the Fiber Shop
Made by the lovely Esther, shown here in front of her work.


That's it for here ... I have lots more photos, but only a limited amount of time to do layout!
