Wonderwool Wales in Builth Wells one of the best ever
The event, which took place last weekend, saw a record-breaking attendance as people from all over the country flocked to the Royal Welsh Showground.
A large crowd on Saturday led to many exhibitors having to restock for Sunday, as customers were eager to purchase a wide range of wool-related products.
Organisers were still finalising the figures from the event later this week, but the general view was that the show had broken records, helped by higher than usual attendance on the Sunday.
Chrissie Menzies, Wonderwool Wales director, said: "We were delighted with this year's show in terms of both the attendance and the business transacted by exhibitors.
"We received so much positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors, which is a tribute to the whole team involved in delivering this annual event, which is probably the largest of its type in the UK and possibly Europe."
A special installation marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day was one of the highlights of the weekend.
The 'Britain at War' exhibition, created by a group of knitters in France and across the world, was launched at Wonderwool Wales 2025 and will now tour the UK for the next 19 months.
The exhibition opened with nine panels but will expand to 80 by Tuesday, September 3 as it visits six additional venues.
The VE Day project has been organised by Tansy Forster from Normandy and her fellow knitters, who also created The Longest Yarn installation for D-Day.
More than 1,000 knitters from around the world took part in that project.
Wonderwool Wales had an international feel, with Kimberly Perkins from Cat Mountain Fibre Arts in Colorado flying in to showcase her hand-dyed, multi-textured yarn bundles, along with knitting and crochet patterns.
Sheep Walk fashion shows, Woolschool workshops, demonstrations and have-a-go sessions run by some of the exhibitors all attracted strong interest from visitors.
Wonderwool Wales showcases every stage of the creative process involving wool, from raw fibre to finished product.
Exhibits of sheep, raw and hand-dyed fibres, yarn for knitting and crochet, embellishments, equipment, dyes, and books can be found alongside finished textile art, craft, clothing, and home furnishings.
Helen Hickman, owner of Nellie and Eve, Llanwrda, said: "It's such a lovely, well-organised show that gets better every year.
"The standard and quality of exhibitors is very high.
"A lot of customers were there for the weekend and many said they were amazed by how much can be done with wool."
Phia Ingham, a fashion designer from the family business Window of Woolly Wonders, Bangor, said: "We absolutely love the show because there is something for everybody and the people here are so friendly."
First-time exhibitor Kery Moyle from Ginger Pink Yarns, Frome, said: "It's like no other yarn show I have been to.
"I didn't know what to expect but can't believe how big it is.

Post-war Scotland play brought to life at Edinburgh Fringe
Former Herald and Scotsman journalist Kenneth Roy's The Invisible Spirit is often described as a searing yet witty dramatisation of Scotland's people, places and politics in the wake of the Second World War. Spanning from 1945 to 1975, The Invisible Spirit captures the complexities of a nation struggling to grasp a sense of its own identity while highlighting the social and economic desperation Scotland faced through the failings of its ruling class. Stories of poverty, diseases, scandals and serial killers are told through the eyes of three actors in the backdrop of shipyards and tenement slums as The Invisible Spirit makes its first-ever appearance on stage. READ MORE: Bold plans to save Scottish BBC studios from 'fading into history' unveiled Starring Chris Alexander, Fergus John McCann and Elaine Stirrat, and directed by Katie Jackson, Roy's beloved biography of Scotland will come to life for festival audiences at theSpace throughout August. It's a story of desperation, as Elieen Reid, daughter of the Scottish trade unionist Jimmy Reid, said, left her with tears in her eyes, but also one of community and hope. Roy's 'mischievous' storytelling managed to conjure laugh-out-loud moments throughout from the veteran actor Bill Paterson through his unsparing critique of the political and judicial class. The long-time friend of Roy's, Alan McIntyre, made his producing debut with The Invisible Spirit, as he said he believed it had been a real shame the author never got the play produced despite writing an adaptation for the theater before his death in 2018. 'It's been a great sort of experience watching it come to fruition,' McIntyre said. He added that 'it was just great to see something that had only ever lived on a piece of paper coming to life with great actors and great staging. 'It just feels as if we have done him justice by putting it on.' McIntyre, who is the international board chair of the Royal Conservatoire in Glasgow, said one of the biggest challenges with the play was cutting the script by around 30 minutes so that it would fit the Fringe's time constraint of one-hour shows. 'I had this experience of trying to edit it down and feeling as if Kenneth was standing behind me saying, 'Don't touch that. That's really important. You can get rid of that',' McIntyre joked. Kenneth Roy He explained that he tried to edit the story so that it maintained the core themes of Roy's story. One of the main themes of The Invisible Spirit is the idea that Scotland thinks of itself as a socially democratic country, but the reality is that the establishment protects itself and that working-class people are 'screwed over' on a regular basis by the establishment, which tries to protect itself. The story is told through three narrators: The Daily Record, The Bulletin, and The Scotswoman, not a newspaper, but representing women's voices, as they walk the viewer from VE Day in George Square to the 1970s oil boom, weaving through the Gorbals, the Clydeside yards, and down the pits. One of the most potent scenes is Jimmy Reid's legendary rectorial address, Alienation, best known as the rat race speech, which he delivered at Glasgow University in October 1971, during his attempt to save jobs at the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders. His daughter, who attended one of the opening nights, said the play is a 'tour de force' as it seamlessly depicted numerous historical moments during the 30-year period - including her father's speech. 'The way they highlighted dad's Alienation address was very powerful,' Elieen said. 'The speech transcended politics, especially party politics, and people, young people going to the play and learning something of their own history here in Scotland, is really important.' (Image: Maritime Museum) Elieen added: 'Kenneth was a brilliant chronicler with his dry wit and sort of melancholic humanity that pervaded his work. 'Looking back on the Alienation speech, it injected a kind of pathos for me. I was a bit weepy at the end.' Elieen praised the play's ability to embody Roy's writing as she said it paid homage to his lament of Scotland's lost industry incredibly well. Best known for his wide range of roles, including House of the Dragon and Fleabag, Paterson got to know Roy and said the words 'just came running off the page' when he first saw the book's adaptation. Paterson said Roy's witty, wise, and mischievous charm oozes through his writing and that despite the bleak backdrop, the story of The Invisible Spirit still manages to draw laughter through his piercing observations. 'You giggle at it, you laugh out loud,' he said. The veteran actor said that despite Roy's story being set decades ago, it highlights to audiences that today's politics have moved on much since the Second World War. Tickets can be found here, and The Invisible Spirit runs from August/11, 13-16/ 18-23.

Boden's £66 'beautiful' work shirt slashed to £26 and has shoppers begging for more colours "This is the work shirt I'd been searching for: tailored but not fussy, professional with a little fun and whimsy" Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt comes in four different colours, but shoppers have been asking for more options (Image: Boden) Shoppers have been raving about the 'perfect' shirt for wearing for work that has now slashed to over half price. Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt was £66 but is now £26.40, offering a £39.60 save for thrifty shoppers. Even better, the cotton shirt on Boden is £6.60 cheaper than it is at John Lewis, which is currently on sale for £33. The Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt is adorned with polka dots all over the ivory tee, which is on trend this year. In fact, Vogue has reported the spotty pattern has made a comeback, with the likes of Catherine, Princess of Wales, wearing a polka dot number for the VE Day service in May. READ MORE: 'Super flattering' Roman dress picked by ITV Lorraine's stylist is perfect for autumn LATEST: Boden shoppers rave over summer dress that 'fits like a dream' and is now discounted Boden's Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt is structured with a little stretch, which means it can skim over your body's natural curves. The shirt is also made out of cotton, which is a breathable material suitable for any weather or season. And the shirt is designed to fall between the waist and hip, making it an appropriate but comfortable attire to wear all day, especially while you are at work, as some pleased shoppers have pointed out. The Saskia Stretch Cotton Shirt comes in four different colours, but only the ivory and navy with abstract dots is currently on discount. If you want the shirt but in a different style, the basic White shirt, Forget Me Not, Ivory Strip and Cognac, Pained Dot are all sold for £69 respectively. The ivory and navy colour of the dotted shirt makes it a versatile fit, which you can match with pretty much any colours you have in your wardrobe - perhaps navy trousers, a pink flowy skirt, bright yellow culottes or just a casual pair of your favourite denim jeans. Elsewhere, if you want a more basic looking shirt perfect for work wear, M&S has plenty of options, including its M&S Collection Cotton Rich Fitted Collared Shirt for £17.50. Or if you are looking for a shirt with a more conventionally feminine, Next has the Pink Soft Relaxed Long Sleeve Shirt for £28.

One customer said: " A beautiful material, in deep navy, looking classy and so well cut. Easy to dress up or down, it's already become a fixture of my wardrobe!" Another pleased shopper remarked: "This is the work shirt I'd been searching for: tailored but not fussy, professional with a little fun and whimsy. The polka dot print adds playfulness to a fitted work shirt. I love it!" While another shopper praised it for its "slim fit" and described it as "flattering", and another reviewer described it as a "good wardrobe staple", that worked both for "smart or casual" settings. "This is my fourth Saskia shirt," another pleased customer noted, but begged the retailer to create more in different patterns. They added: "The shirts are a great fit and added stretch makes them very comfortable to wear. They look great under the Boden tank tops. Please could you do one in a green stripe!". Another shared the same sentiment: "It is very flattering, slim fit, with slight stretch, short, it is very easy to tuck into skirts and trousers, and layer under thin jumpers. Which is amazing given that there is a glut of oversized shirts everywhere at the moment. I liked the shape so much that bought both colours. Can we have more colours please (no pattern, just plain grown up colours ideally)?" But not everyone was pleased with their purchase. One shopper said: "Slightly tight around the bust." However, another unhappy customer had a different issue and penned: "Nice shirt but returned as too big." Article continues below But overall, most of the customers that reviewed the shirt were happy. One satisfied customer said: "Lovely quality shirt, the tailoring is on point. It fits me well and isn't too tight across the chest or shoulders which some button-down blouses. The dot pattern is striking and the orange trimming detail on the sleeves is subtle but a nice pop of colour."
