Masham Sheep Fair

This afternoon the husband and I stepped out in our raingear, drove about 15 miles down a dales country road, and spent a lovely few hours at the annual Masham Sheep Fair, in Masham, North Yorkshire.  There were sheep entered for judging:

There was Morris dancing:

And there was yarn and spinning supplies for sale. Here is my purchase - a skein of handdyed Teeswater:

There were also competitions for spinning and knitting handspun, which were lovely but I didn't want to photograph them, as I wasn't sure if the contestants would like that.  My goal?  To enter my own handspun/handspun article next year, AND then buy a little fold-up Ashford spinning wheel!
