Not Dead, Just Spinning!

Ah, life. How it gets in the way of our real passions.

I have neither abandoned nor given up on this blog and the pursuits that led to it, but the beginning of this year has been packed, with things both textile and non.

Most of a final spinning project for my OHS Spinning Certificate level 1 got handed in on time - and the rest is glaring resentfully at me from the pile of rolags in the corner. Hopefully I have passed despite the late penalty, as I've just paid for year 2, coming up in August.

The dye pots, however, are going back on the boil some evening this week, indeed, I'm tying up yarn as I write this. I'll be cooking up a range of samples/one off based on some of the colours captured in photos of my recent trip to Cuba to test out for some spring colourways. I have one wholesale order to get to then hopefully can restock retail and Etsy.

See you soon!
