Woolfest 2015

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Thursday, July 23, 2015


This has messed up my blog order...But I have just found a few pictures from my visit to Woolfest a couple of weeks ago...and if I don't post them now, I might forget again!!

I had a great day exploring the stalls and looking at all the lovely wily things on offer, there was a great presence of Breed Societies which is always nice to see - and a few stalls that really caught my eye with a contemporary knitwear and yarn feel!

Picture highlights...



...Great information on some British sheep breeds...



...Valais Blacknosed Sheep, bred in Northumberland...



...The fleece stock corner...

ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
