We're so excited to celebrate it with you! LOOKING BACK and beyond..It has been a full and beautiful start-up year for TDYB.

It concerns:  - Breidagen Groningen 27-28 March  - Wolle Messe Leipzig 3-4 April - Breidagen Amsterdam 2 - 3 May  - Joure onder de wol 16 May - Woollin Festival Dublin 12 - 13 June It's very sad that we cannot meet, not to mention the financial losses but hopefully we can meet in the virtual space and live at another time! Meanwhile stay healthy, keep calm and knit on. Yours, Iris
