The Wool Garden

Have been having a very busy week with my friends (also known as customers!) down at The Wool Garden. first a day spent with Kate who managed to produce all of this beautiful hand painted  yarn using my magic wool dyes, a microwave some cling film and a bowl of hot water! Can't wait to see what it knits up to - socks were mentioned!

Secondly a day with Mary producing some great homespun yarn - while learning to spin - to add to the jumper her mother had started. Really satisfying. I do hope she keeps it up because she really is a natural! for more courses don't forget to visit our site - and bear in mind the superb advanced Fair Isle class in damask knitting on Saturday 22 March. All details on our website http://thewoolgarden.co.uk/

Speaking of spinning I have been busy myself - turning some beautiful roving I acquired from Etsy shop The Wool Gatheringshttps://www.etsy.com/shop/woolgatherings

Over the past few wet nights have been turning it into some useable bobbins.







Almost can't wait to shut so I can get home and ply it!



All the brand new wool from Debbie Bliss and the summer pattern support is out and will be up on the site by Sunday. Oh yes - and I have to revamp our shop window while busying myself crocheting a pile of flowers in yellows greens and whites for the new spring look. For some reason I have lambs, primroses, daffs and baby knits all on the brain - musty be something to do with our 10% sale off all baby yarns - including Millamia and Baby Cash - so get over to the website or down to the shop over the next month and grab yourself a bargain!
