So i Went to Headingley in Leeds to the Baa Ram Ewes store for the thursday knit night and to purchase some more yarn, yes thats right some more, it was a great night and packed to the nines with people. I managed to purchase some Colinette Point 5 yarn i bought 2 skeins and i’ve already knit it up into a scarf. Also i bought some twilleys freedom spirit 100% wool which i have no idea what to do with know i have it lol!!

I also came across i book i have been wanting for a while called ‘Intertwined’ it’s a hardback book about the art of handspun yarn, modern patterns and creative spinning which i very much like. It makes my creatives juices flow.  You may have seen the lexi boeger website.

Terrible as it may seem i am still hand winding my silk into a ball. I think a ball winder needs to be added to my Christmas  list this year.

My First skeins of  handspun, also hand dyed by me!!! I was playing with my spindle and wanted to practice spinning and dying my yarns and these skeins are the result there chunky yarns but gorgeus. All i need to do know is to make some more and i’ll be a woolly wizard lol!! i think i may try out the pink and green again. And kool aid dyes rock for animal fibres. The fibre was corrindale which i bought from handspinner.

She gives a great service with great prices, i very much like buying from this site. x
