We walked round the town, population 18,000. The population of Iceland is 350,000. And this town counts as large. It has a mix of cafes and tourist shops. And everything costs a lot.

Iceland Day 7
Today we all showed our five best photos. Very varied and no repetitions. Then some of us walked down to the farm where there were Icelandic horses. They live outside all year, are very tough and have two coats of hair which keep them warm. Then lunch then all packed into two vehicles and were driven to akureyri to catch a plane to Reykjavik. At the moment we are sitting in the departure lounge waiting.

About Me
- Pat
- I am weaver and - -. I dye my yarns with acid dyes, I paint my warps, put fabric collages and stencils on my weaving. I have three looms, a 12 inch wide, 12 shaft Meyer for demos and courses, a 30 inch Louet Kombo which is nominally portable but has a stand, two extra beams and a home-made device containing a fan reed. And last a 32 shaft Louet Megado which is computer controlled, has a sectional warp and a second warp beam and I am the proud owner of an AVL warping wheel which I love to bits and started by drilling holes in. I inserted a device for putting a cross in. I have just acquired an inkle loom and had a lesson from an expert so I can watch TV and weave at the same time. I am interested in weaving with silk mostly 60/2 although I do quite a bit with 90/2 silk. I also count myself as a bookbinder with a special interest in Coptic binding.
