Went to the CraftAlive craft fair today. Was rather disappointed at how small it was compared to previous years but I’m super happy with my haul.

Please enjoy some spinning with me on my new Daedalus Starling (aka ‘The Lamborghini’). Fibre is the WoW team blend Dragon’s Breath which is merino & mulberry silk.
