Alberta

I'm still in Alberta. We has a wonderful time hiking through the Rockies and made it 2,300m above see level. 

We then went to Calgary and I was able to make it to two places I wanted to go. I weaving/spinning/yarn store and a woollen mill!

Shuttleworks - here, I bought two louet spinning bobbins and a longer weaving shuttle. 

Custom Woolen Mills - on the way to Edmonton, you can take a tour around their industrial revolution era mill. They had some reallyneatprocessing equipment! I did end up buying one pound of raw Cotswold fleece too!

Now that we are in Edmonton, I wonder where else fibrey we can visit??
