We are a lively group of people from all walks of life who share an interest spinning, weaving, dyeing, ancient skills and heritage crafts. Meeting every month.
My 70 year old neighbour asked me why when shepherds have occupied our farms quietly for 600 years, is shepherding suddenly a dirty word and hill farming despised in the media. Opinions are grinding people down. Respect costs nothing.
I bloody love shoes. So it was fab to discover the history of shoe making in Northampton. ๐ ๐ก๐ข๐๐

Spent a wonderful day felted rug making with the Wild Wool shepherdess. Find her on Facebook. Gorgeous fleece to play with and a warm knowledgeable host!
These seem a great idea! Pocket sized, portable electric spinning wheels! Our guild members have ordered quite a few so I think a workshop on them might be on the cards.

Managed a tiny bit of plying amongst the Christmas chaos - singles that were lying around on toilet rolls haha but actually came together quite nicely. Mostly Shetland I think.
