First Market for 2014

Today with shearing finished I'm getting ready for the market at the Arts Centre on Sunday.  I have dyed some aran yarn and also some sock yarn.

Over the holidays I have also been knitting scarves.  This pink and gold mix is always a popular colour mix. I'm off to the studio now to make some scarf pins for smaller neck scarves.

Too Exhausted to ...................

We were all too exhausted to celebrate New Year's Eve.  It wasn't planned but it just happened that shearing took place on New Year's Eve.  The sheep I am sure a very pleased although the weather was cold on New Years night.  We brought the sheep into the house yard where there is plenty of shelter. 

The wool is the best we have had for years.  Most of the sheep were coated which has resulted in very clean wool.  Now its time to get spinning and dyeing and weaving.

I'll be back at the Arts Centre Market on Sunday.
