My first blog


This is all new to me. It was my dh's idea as he thinks people may be interested in the type of hobbies/crafts I like. So thanks to my daughter, Abi here it is.
I love most crafts but particularly knitting, weaving, sewing, spinning (when i have the room to bring my wheel down from the attic). I am now into making and using "peg looms". Then results are really quick to see and the finished item is so lovely and warm, thick.

Hiya
Sorry I've not commented sooner. I threaded up my loom on Tues and Ive managed to start weaving with some handspun I had. Is there a certain way as to weave fleece without having to spin it first?
Keep up the good work
Take care
Love n hugs

Hiya woolydoodles, I don't spin my fleece prior to weaving, i just twist about 3"+ and then just get on witht the weaving, haven't had any problems yet.
