And I will add these words:

Even if you are not part of the 'textile community', nor are interested
in Wool/Spinning/Weaving/etc.

It's a great festival to attend.  My Lady/I/Son attend each year,
because of the Vendors, the Displays, and all the SCAdians we run into.

(I found 1/4" thick Linen rope there one year that I use for Crossbow
Bindings!)

PS.  And the Lamb-Gyros & Lamb-Sausage are amazing...

Maryland Sheep  and
| Wool Festival which is held at the Howard County Fairgrounds just off
  I-70.

| You will be able to watch weaving, including on a warp-weighted loom,
| spinning, embroidery, tablet weaving, sprang, nalbinding, fingerloop
braiding,
| knitting, and bobbin lace.  You will even be able to try your hand at
most  of
| these techniques!  And there will be books, kits, and other items for
  sale.
|
| Hours for the festival, which is a huge and fabulous affair which has
| everything your heart could ever desire when it comes to wool,
threads, sheep,  and
| "thread things" in general, are 9-6 on Saturday and 9-5 on Sunday.   Both
| parking and entry are free.
|
| See you there!
