Earlier in the summer, I briefly and vaguely alluded to some very exciting weaving developments. As you will have been able to gather from the title of this post, ahem… things have spiralled quite spectacularly since my last in-depth post about my learning to weave […]
Summer: Crafts and Wildflowers
Hey all, it’s the end of July and I thought it would be nice to catch up with you on what I’ve been up to in the past weeks and what I’m currently working on. So grab a cup of whatever you like to drink […]
Handmade Wool Combs and Raw Fleece Adventures
Today I wanted to show some new pieces of spinning equipment I have been enjoying and some new spinning territories and techniques I have thrown myself into. Ever since I got into spinning my mum would sometimes ask if I was on the lookout for […]
