Finally the sun has come out - god, I thought I would never get my fleeces dried this year!! So far this year's summer leaves much to be desired for, at least in Northern England. We are not blessed with many hot summer days up here anyway, and honestly I can certainly do without oven hot and humid seasons, but a liiiiiitttle bit of warm sunshine would be much appreciated! Let's see what Thursday is going to be like - I have made plans to drive towards Corbridge, visit Aydon Castle and hopefully take a very long and nice walk through the surrounding country site, if the weather is good enough...

Anyway, I have just displayed a new ooak handspun and handpainted yarn design on Etsy. This time I have used my 21 micron extra soft Merino wool, just for a change... :o) I have called the yarn "Ring-A-Ring-A-Roses". I hope you like it!
