Out and About.

This was the result of a workshop I took for the Bucks Guild of WS&D's in Amersham on the 4th March. The theme of the day was using as many different fleeces as possible and preparing them in different ways. The skeins here show the variety of finishes we came up with.
Carding, combing and spinning from the fleece were all tried as well as the large wool combs seen below left.
Thankyou to all those who took part and the organisers of the day.
 
This was the wonderful sight that greeted us as we arrived at the hall in East Hendred to the Wingham Wool day organised by the Kennett Valley Guild. It is a spinners dream to spin all day and sample as many different fleeces and fibres as you like.I recommend this day to anyone who has not been before, bring your purse as the shopping opportunity is second to none. You have missed this year but future dates will be on www they may be coming some where near you..winghamwoolwork.co.uk
