Finally made it to Briggs & Little


On our way out of the province we were able to pop into Canada's oldest woolen mill, Briggs & Little. I was thrilled to find that the colours listed at their site are not up to date, they had more colours than I expected.


Here are the pictures I took, plus what I bought. The wonderful thing is that since this is their mill, the price per skein is $3.75 instead of the usual $5.15 you pay in your LYS.
Look at all this wool!!!!
Nice felted bag.
More nice felted bags.
Had to buy the pattern, especially since it was $2.
What I left with. The colours are much better in real life. I'll be back for more after Christmas when I can convince Jon to go for an hour and a half long drive.

WOW! Fabulous store! I've never seen anything like it (our LYS here are... pitiful)!
