Spinning group today, I have just completed spinning 450g of Merino and silk blend in beautiful soft shades which I am calling Spring Fever
I bought the fleece a couple of months ago from P & M Woolcraft when they visited the Mid-Essex Guild of Dyers, Spinners & Weavers.
The meeting was at Rita’s home on the way I passed ‘The Bricklayers Alms’ in the hamlet of Stondon Massy




You are so K L E V E R !…seriously I do think you are cleaver, artistic too and you share such lovely snippets with all of us. I would love to learn to spin. What do you intend making with your lovely spring fever shades?
At the moment the plan is a little top for my G’daughter, will post progress
and quite clever too.
Thanks Kate x
What gorgeous colours. And the pub looks very inviting too.
I need some tips on how to handle a skein of yarn like that…I bought some last year that I took out of the cupboard last night. It proceeded to all tangle horribly and I spent about 3 hours trying to undo the mess. This morning woke up with some 3 balls of wound wool and a bunch in the bin, and an awful shoulder pain!
I cannot wait to see the top you make.
Hi thanks for your comment, Try puting the skein around the back of a chair or even two chairs it holds it tought and helps to stop it tangling
Good luck
Thanks Susan. Will try that today.
