They have Jacqueline from Soak demonstrating blocking techniques...this is a great rinse-free product to use to wash all your fine washables ...including handknits, of course....you may have seen her on Dragon`s Den....Dragon`s you missed out on a great product!



and they have Kim from Indigodragonfly .....one of my favourite hand dyed yarns!

Her luscious yarns are all displayed in an amazing trunk show. The trunk show includes sample designer garments as well as limited edition kits.  She also had a bunch of yarns for sampling.

Linds and I check it all out....not the most flattering view of me...
