Conroi De Vey

Whilst visiting the Armed Forces Weekend at Nottingham Castle I bumped into a group of strangely clothed people encamped the other side of the flower beds. Sensing a textile theme, I approached to ask about their tunics only to be greeted by a cry of 'you're Guzzisue, you must be, you have a spinning wheel with you' A fellow Ravelry and spinnotts member had recognised me even though we had never me before but I suppose the fact that I had my Kromski wheel with me was a bit of a give away. ( and the loud trousers) After this brief encounter I arranged to call back the next day and talk some more about dyeing, historical dress etc, to be honest I don't think they could stop me asking questions!

So, here is my impression of Convoi De Vey , in pictures as usual.

We came to the conclusion that Anglo Saxon dress was a touch too warm when the temperature reaches 29C
