Aguille en fete - Paris

We had a great day in Paris on Thursday at the Aguille en fete expo, it was very busy and very hot, but well worth the trip.

Lots of gorgeous yarn, fabric & trimmings.









Plenty of yarn bargains to be had at the morelfilshop







Luxurious mohair/cashmere & silk blends from La Ferme d'Amalthee



graded yarns in vibrant shades from Lafeefil


Plenty of opportunities for knitting and workshops










Beautiful knitting and crochet kits from Elle Tricot






Familiar faces at Toft Alpaca



Lestricoteursvolants.com – Falklands merino wool dyed in Wales






Rachel John's wonderful chunky knits and broomstick needles



A fascinating stand with machinery from the button museum and demonstrations of how mother of pearl buttons are made




And the artist's exhibition with displays of sculptural knitting and crochet, wall hangings and pictures.










Some brave knitters taking part in the speed knitting competition.

A great day out, we came back clutching bags of shopping and brimming with inspiration.
