April update

Experiment with block weave
Spring has spring, the daffodils have been amazing and giving way to tulips with their scarlet heads, birds going crazy in the garden flying to and fro, bleatings drifting from the distant fields as new lambs chase and jump.  It's a lovely time of year!  Weaving is going on in my sun lounge at a fast pace.  Here is a picture of some samples I'm working on.

I am currently using Shetland wool, which changes so much with fulling, even different colours shrink and full slightly differently from the same quality.

It's exciting and a little unpredictable.  The result is nice and soft.

Watch this space for the final finished piece!
