Hi everyone!
I have just finished loading pictures of my new handpainted bfl rovings and also of some newly handspun slub yarns, that I have now all displayed in my ebay store! Have a look and Visit My eBay Store for more fibre details!
The dark green slub yarn is an awsome colour, don't you think? It is such a vibrant dark green, and it was my last lot of this particular colour :o(
The new lot is one whole shade brighter and makes a vibrant grass green.
I took half a day off last week and went walking with Sam in the Caldbeck area , which is located at the very Northern tip of the Lake District - BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! It is one of my favourite places to go, and it's the place where you will also find the "Woolclip", a craft store that sells handspun, hand dyed and handwoven yarns and items made from loacal sheep breeds, yummy!! I always visit them to see what's new, and I always admire their handwoven cushions and throws. Weaving is something that I have put on my wishlist to start within the next few years. I will need to find extra time to actually properly learn it, so for now I have to put it off... sigh....
Here are some photos of Caldbeck and my favourite walk along the Caldbeck river which leads you through a short but fairy tale like gorge and past the ruins of a bobbin mill:
This dog is such a cuddle bum!!!
Yepp - they are EVERYWHERE :o)
The photo below shows the Priest Mill in Caldbeck, which has a vegetarian restaurant and 3 craft shops inside, including the Woolclip. Caldbeck is indeed such a lovely place to visit, so if you are planning to come to the Lake District, bring some extra time and stop by there as well, you will not regret it!!!! And yes, there certainly also is a great pub in the village where you will get a healthy pint of ale!
