In Australia, you can get Wild Fibers Magazine from Ewe give me the knits along with lots of roving and spinning supplies, and some wonderful exotic fibres. Thanks very much to Mandie for hand dyed merino and the sample pack.
And for that exotic holiday, once you've read the magazine why not Bhutan.
This week's interview from the Royal Easter Show is with Geoff Farman of Flowerdale Alpacas.
