Hi -- I don't remember the beginning of this thread, but I'm on my way this year from Montana to the MD Sheep and Wool Festival -- for the 2nd time. I went last year and was overwhelmed by the number of vendors.
I really thought it was amazing and had a wonderful time. I guess what disappointed me the most was that I had wanted to try a couple of different electric wheels to compare them. I did find the Spin Tech booth but could not get anywhere near the spinner to try it. Never saw any others. This year I was thinking about trying out a Little Gem Majacraft just to see how different it is from the Rose, but have no idea how to find specific vendor carrying what I want to try it out. We just don't have a lot of opportunities to try equipment in MT. I'd like to try different drum carders, but didn't see any set up to use. I was looking for one type of yarn in a very specific color and finally found that at the end of the day luckily. I found one real bargain but most of what I saw was fairly pricey. I imagine the vendors have to pay a lot for those booths. Anyway, that's my experience coming to the biggest festival in the country and only having one day to spend shopping. Looking forward to trying it again- Hedy To stop mail temporarily mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: set nomail To restore send: set mail
