The 2019 Wool Market was held on Saturday 5 October 12-5pm at Liskeard Public Hall.  We expanded into the whole complex and had 36 stalls in total.   As well as welcoming back many popular stalls from previous years, we had some great new ones selling yarns, fibre, other supplies and handmade woolly items.
