Finished attending the spinning class in Christchurch; will continue to go to the group sessions as it’s a good chance for me to connect with like-minded people and to socialise.
The table runner below, is the first effort of spinning, plying and knitting a piece of the ‘girls’ fleece; Salt’s fleece from 2018 in fact. I intend to keep each fleece separate so that I can identify the individual animal when making a piece of clothing or item. I’m quite pleased with how this turned out, I still have a long way to go but it’s a start.
The rest of the month so far has been doing the chores around the farm; spraying, weeding, mowing etc so not a lot to talk about yet. I’m still waiting for the shearer to shear ‘everyone’ but it has been very wet here so that has meant a wait for us. The flock are getting a bit shaggy now and worried about the fleece but will have to work with what I get.
