Art Yarn Winter Moss

Just put this up on Etsy.  A slow process starting with getting some lovely locks that were about 10 inches long and plying them into a yarn spun from the same color lot with a little garnet added and then core spinning it onto more of the same base yarn.  No commercial core yarn used and all pure Wensleydale wool  220 grams and only 32 yards. I can see it as a lovely collar on a cardigan    https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/211971987/

Soaps for Christmas

I have felted these lovely soaps made by Majella from The Soap Box in bright and glittery colours.  Almost ready  gift wrapped  or you could use them to decorate your house.  They come in lots of lovely scents,  rose, aniseed, jasmine just to mention a few.  They are for sale in my Etsy Shop,  some local markets and hopefully in a new shop that is opening in Lower John Street, Sligo on December 1st.

Oero Hand Spun Jacob Yarn

The last of the fiber from this sheep.  I used the chocolate brown fiber to make Oreo a lovely dark brown yarn with white flecks and now I have used the white fiber to spin this and so got a mirror image of the first yarn white with chocolate flecks.  The skeins are a lovely white with brown flecks and are very soft for Jacob yarn.  The fleece comes from a ram belonging to a friend who lives in Mohill Co. Leitrim.  The ram now enjoys the name of Oreo after the yarn that I originally named.
