Welcome to the 4th Friday of March: that means a new fibre blend explore, new colourways and also something extremely, luxuriously Fluffy in batts and yarns! I’ve been super busy again to get loads of dyeing and carding done. Never a dull moment here! Plus all the March clubs have been shipped to all the club members this morning ! Yay! 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.

I should keep reminding myself...

Happy Friday !  It’s always super hectic..well, even more busy and hectic as usual I should say, because Friday is reserved to get everything organised on the shop with the freshly dyed tops and new products. And oh wow are there a lot of new products for you to feast your eyes on ! Apart from a re stock of some colours on cashmere fling and cashmerino silk tops, there is a new product line of merino tops in solid colours. I have been asked many times to offer some solid dyed merino tops for spinning and feating, so here...

Can you believe this is the last Friday of the month already?! Which means: last super special sheep breed shop update ! This week is all about a super rare sheep breed, which lived on a sinking island. This is their story:  What I am offering you tonight is one of those special stories that just grabbed my imagination. This blog is about ancient peoples, lands left by all and left to be roamed by once domesticated animals…. a story about rescue and …some very nice sheep.   During the 16th century, explorers from Europe found a rich new continent,...
