Spinner's Delight Award at the Lower Mainland Fleece Show and Sale

Hi folks,

I can't believe that I have not been in contact since April as I am sure that I posted a note about my day at the Fleece Show in Langley on June 4th.  One of the three BFL fleeces that I took to the sale was given the "Spinner's Delight" award by the judges and the fleeces evaporated off the sale tables in minutes.  My sister in law, Cathie came with me as I had set up a vendor table and we had a wonderful day meeting other fibre enthusiasts and selling some of the rovings and dyed BFL locks that I took down with me.

Many people are still unfamiliar with Bluefaced Leicester fiber and it is always fun to show them how soft and lustrous it is.  It is my very favorite fibre to spin with and I find that more and more folks agree with me.  Once you are hooked, you are hooked for the long term.

Of special significance for me is the fact that the award is named after one of the Shuswap Spinners and Weavers Guild members, Judith Glibbery. She and her husband made a huge contribution to sheep and fleece production during their tenure in the Lower Mainland and dedicating the award to them was intended to recognise their involvement.  It certainly made winning this particular award extra meaningful for me!
