It’s been almost a month between blogs! For years and years I have been consistently blogging every Friday at 8pm and it “only” took the upkeep of an online shop, social media marketing, emails and what have you to let me totally lose my medal in the consistency department. And if that’s not the only thing: keeping lots of hand made and hand dyed fibre, yarn and spindles consistently stocked up, is proving to be extremely hard as well. In short: I cannot keep up!  Hilarious but true, I thought having an online shop and not going to weekly markets...

Happy Friday everybody! Its been another exciting busy week here with lots of new carding, blending and dyeing. The new quarter of art journey clubs are starting again this month so that means heaps of extra prep work and getting everything from pigments to fibres and yarns, organised and ready.

The blend on offer is IxCHeL Cashmere Fling: a wonderful blend of Tencel, bamboo, rose fibres and a dash of cashmere. This blend is wonderful to spin: it spins like butter but is better for the hips. The Tencel...

It’s been a roller coaster ride again as usual. I have been dyeing and blending and spinning lots of fibres and oh wait til you see what is in store tonight  !!!  The teaser label for the March club has been released but just in case you haven’t seen it yet, here it is:  I just love this painting from  1559 which apparently has about 140plus proverbs hidden in it. The more you look, the more you see. Can you find the woman holding the distaff and the woman spindling? What are they whispering to each other I wonder? The March...
