The first signs of Autumn!
I'm starting to prepare for Wool Week in October,I  like pompoms I really do but so far I've made 96 to edge handknit lap throws so I think I'll have a break and get on with another project!

Summer solstice

Greetings at Solstice!

Heritage Wool Bags

2 bags handwoven from Herdwick and Lonk wool.These are British Heritage Breeds and both are Northern Hill Breeds which are my favourites! Buttons courtesy of The Lancashire Bodgers Group,Calico lining from Bancroft Mill Museum.

Bodgers Buttons!

I wanted some new wood slice buttons and discovered The Lancashire Bodgers Group who were really helpful,interested in what I do and so knowledgeable about wood. these are the first to arrive from 'Willy Acorn' beautiful Cherry and Holly will sit so well on the Herdwick/Lonk tweed bags and I'm hoping for more from all sorts of wood.Many thanks to The Lancashire Bodgers!

More Wool ..... of course!

Here's the 2018 wool from the fleeces of the Conservation Grazer flock in Silverdale. 3 different weights of yarn from the same lovely crossbred Bluefaced Leicester/North Country Cheviot sheep, DK,Aran and Chunky.Soft,lustrous and bouncy but still looks like it really comes from sheep!
