From left to right and top to bottom:
1 – Looking for new yarns to buy is fun any time, but imagine being able to gaze out this window at the same time.
2 – One booth at the yarn fair (Pitti Filati) was built around theme of kilims. I like the faded earthy colors.
3 – Beautifully and neatly wound pre-dyed top awaits its fate.
4 – Modern day spinning machinery, I love the repetition.
5 – Multiple vats of top are set in motion.
6 – Monanorah, or is it the Norahlisa? Silliness at the show
The highlight of my trip was the natural history museum. The special exhibit of crystals just may have had a great influence on NGvol7.
wow, it must have been such a incredible trip!! looks great.
I love the colors in Italy itself! That rich red and ochre, the “virgin” blue of lapis…. Ahhhh. And the Kilm colors are wonderful too… Bring all that influence home to the already wonderful Berroco yarns!!
Thanks for sharing your photos. It’s fun to travel, even if ony vicariously! The museum looks phenomenal. I can’t wait to see how your visit influences your designs!
I vote for Noralisa!
Did you go to Pitti Filati?
yep
Is that new hair?? If yes I love it. 🙂
Hope to see you again at Abi’s house in a couple of weeks!
Oh yes and I’m so jealous of the whole visiting a spinnery in Italy thing. 😉
