Garn festivaler i olika delar av världen

Oj vad mycket kul det finnas att åka iväg på!

Är det någon som varit på någon av alla dessa ull och/eller garnrelaterade evenemang?

Kanske kan du tipsa om någon annan bra mässa/festival?

 

Gunnel framför datorn. Funderar över vilka garnrelaterade evenemang som lockar mest.

Woolfest UK  The original British Wool Festival

Woolfest was founded to provide a showcase and a celebration of the best of wool and wool crafts.

Shetland wool is a world class natural fibre, with a long standing reputation for quality, strength and excellence from the fleece to the textile products.

Barhäng

Lite sugna efter resan går vi ut och tar en bira och en macka!
Skönt att vara i gott sällskap! Vi laddar inför garnfestivalen i morgon!
Craving after the trip we went out for a beer and a sandwich! Nice to be in company with friends! We are loading batteries for the festival tomorrow.


Pröva lokal öl säger Gunnel, Agda är en vanehöne och kör sin favorit, ett veteöl

Try a local beer, Gunnel says, But Agda is a hen who wants her favourite, a weise beer

 

Skål Gunnel, säger Agda

Cheers Gunnel says Agda

Hoppla en öl får räcka, den känns i benen efter en lång resa

Ooop, one beer is a enough, legs are tingling after a long trip

Det finaste man har sätter man på bordet, säger alltid min mamma

The best you got it is to be put on the table my mom always says

Express delivery

Äntligen på tåget Arlanda Express på väg mot Arlanda.
Värsta flyttröran hemma, glad att jag hittade passet, tänker Gunnel och pustar ut.
På plats på Arlanda sitter väninnan Agda och väntar.

Finally on the Express train to Arlanda airport, worst case scenario at home because I’m moving, so happy I found my passport in the house mess.
At Arlanda airport my friend Agda is waiting.

Gunnel hänger i buskarna

Gunnel passar på att fräscha upp sin fjäderskrud ute i snön.

Ullmattor kan tvättas i snö. Dammsug fram och baksida och lägg ut mattan i snön med luggen nedåt. Borsta mattan med snö på båda sidorna. Glöm inte att hänga ut mattan så den blir kall innan snötvätten, annars smälter den snön. Googla på “tvätta ullmatta i snö” för mer information. Leva&bo har lagt ut en instruktionsvideo.
