Estes Park Wool Market

I just got back from a trip to Colorado which included stopping at the annual Wool Market in the town of Estes Park, located at the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The fiber event, although smaller than others that I have attended in regard to the number of vendors, was very nice. The vendors that had displays showed quality items and there was an interesting array of livestock including sheep, paco vicunas, llamas, alpacas, yaks and angora rabbits. For those of you who are familiar with the Maggie Sefton mystery novels featuring the yarn shop Lambspun and knitter/detective Kelly Flynn; I met the woman for whom the character Mimi in the book is based upon. Here is a link to some additional photos for those of you who want to see more. I will be sharing some other photos of my trip throughout the upcoming week so stayed tuned. Colorado is a beautiful state!

When we got there the inside tent was so crowded you could hardly move.
