It's been a long time between blogs....

Been on holiday to New Zealand, came home and finished some more projects and now preparing to go on holiday again! This time we're going to the UK and France. I hope to revisit my roots and catch up with family and friends - some of whom I haven't seen for over 30 years.

We might notice a few changes!

Here are some pictures of some projects, and the latest newborn alpaca who was sooo tiny born, only 5.5kg, but is doing just fine now.

This jacket is made from natural black alpaca and acrylic yarn

A new year and new projects.....

I got a loom for Xmas and this is my first attempt at weaving. The warp is commercial wool 8 ply and the weft is natural handspun alpaca - it's beautifully soft.

The loom is an Ashford rigid heddle 60cm.

This is a stole I made on my new loom. The warp is commercial wool 8 ply and the weft is various commercial textured yarns from my stash. I added beads to the fringe.

I started this wall hanging for my son about 3 years ago and only finished it for his birthday in January! For a long time it was in the too hard basket. It's very satisfying to have it finished!
