  • Corespun Woven Table Runner

    Our guild has been working towards a Gallery Show in the summer and I’ve been really excited to get started on mine! I chose ‘C is for Corespun’ because at the time, I was really into corespinning. I still love the effect that corespinning has but have mostly been distracted by other projects. One of…

  • Episode 55: Gradient spin, shoreline & carded colour

    Thank you for tuning in today! Thank you especially to the Patreon supporters of the show – your support keeps the show going week-to-week. I’ve started another CTA bin spin  that I am spinning across the top, and a second spin that is Polwarth, Mohair and Silk that I’m also spinning in the same way.…

A couple of the reward choices include monthly 25 and 50 gram fibre mail-outs. I had some real fun in June choosing the first colourway to be mailed out in July,…

  • A Hand-pulled Roving Experience

    In September 2014, I received this fibre in the Sweet Georgia Yarns’ fibre club, which was new to me at the time. I had just joined and thus far, had had good results from my spun club fibres. This particular month, for some reason, really challenged me and I didn’t quite know what to do…
