Its Been A Long Time........


Black Combed Ouessant

But don't think that I haven't been doing anything .I have been working slowly towards my goals and one of those has been to understand and complete the fibre process from sheep to shawl. Much of this has been a learning curve and so finally after much reflexion I arrive at a point where I am happily processing Ouessant fleece. I have two fleeces available I consider both to be the best that I have produced to date and they have both been hand rooed.  They will be cold water washed and then hand combed as the fleece above.  One is white and the other is black. I am looking for people working in fibre and I don't mind what area who could make use of these fleeces. All I ask is that you send me details of what you might do with the fleeces and when finished that you share with me the process of transformation. I will send them anywhere in the world. If you would like to have a bit of fun with some free fleece then send me a mail.

A Plus!
