  • Hubert would like to present a basket of yarn cakes ready for plying & the latest singles of my dyed red panda spin.

  • Conclusion of my Tour de Fleece 2023 journey. Over the 3 week period (mens race) I spun & plied a skein each of black welsh & white scandi. I finished the last single of my competition yarn & plied that. I completely finished all singles for 2 skeins of blue merino/alpaca. I filled my tahkli…

  • Completed measuring and skeining all the spins from the last few months. There are hundreds of yards/meters of yarn here. My absolute favourite is merino/alpaca/camel/silk blend as it’s like touching a cloud.

  • I’m doing TDF (Tour de Fleece) this year. My goals are tiny; simply finishing off singles for project spins with anything else, being that plying/additional spins, being an added bonus.

  • My American friend is having a baby so it was the perfect excuse to make up the fish booties again. This time I also made a selection of different sized ‘normal’ booties for some baby fashion variety.

  • Wanted to get my ‘Victorian Lady’ on so crocheted this lovely cowl in ladybug red. The pattern is from Bonita Patterns (you can find her on Etsy) and the cowl is just held together by a shawl pin or brooch.
