A Trip to Avoca

One of my favourite spots to visit....how could you not love Avoca! I remember walking past The Mill at Avoca in the early 1980's, it was a very different place to what we see today, but the tradition of weaving was still the same.   Be prepared for a riot of colour and texture and a feast for the eyes...

The weavers at the mill sometimes invite visitors to rummage through the bins beneath the looms....I didn't need to be asked twice...I left nothing behind! A little bit of patience and what started out as one serious mess of fibres turned into neat little row of skeins :-)
