Beanies, Beanies & Yarn


After arriving to Alice Springs, Kerry and & visited the Araleun Gallery to check out what was happening. We volunteered to help and so before long we had several tasks to do along with other women who, many of them was not the first time. Loved it so came back year after year.
By Friday Opening of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival there were beanies hanging against the wall, on tables, on head forms and even hanging from fishing wire held on by pegs. It was an amazing sight .We were told that over 6,000 arrived. last year it was over 5,000 so that each year it is getting more popular.
The crowds started arriving and the cashier was busy selling, not one but several beanies per person.
They had a special table for hand spun yarns. A must for knitting for next year.
