Weavers Knot

😂
At last I've learned how to tie a weavers knot. I've been shown many times and fumbled about with bits of wool but now (thanks to you tube) I can do it but if anybody sees me with 2 strands of wool tying and untying knots they will think I've finally lost the plot!

Save our Lonks


 
 
 
 
Our Lovely Lancashire Lonk Sheep are now on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust's watchlist with possibly as few as 1500 left.I hope I will be able to buy more of their beautiful fleeces this year. I have some of last year's yarn left and Northern Yarn have some available to sell online.
