Love to be creative, especially the experimenting part, and to be out breathing the fresh air.
My favourite crafty things to do are spinning yarn, weaving and sewing.

I really miss my large loom. I used to enjoy weaving cotton towels.
I made this set of two hand towels and a face cloth using Lily's Sugar N Cream yarn to give as a gift.

The dog's Pets At Home order arrived with a luxurious metre of leg room ... if you listen carefully you can hear my carbon footprint sobbing quietly in the corner.

I love experimenting ... I don't have much time to play at the mo so this is a throwback. Commercial 100% wool yarn paired with merino spun on my drop spindle and cut in to small pieces.

I love to experiment but I don't get much chance at the moment so here's a throw back.
From the top ...
1) Short backward draw - 2 ply.
2) Rolags - 2 ply.
3) Short forward draw thread plied.
4) Core spun single.

Throw back to my first attempt at thread plying. There wasn't much fibre so the scarf is quite short but it's one of my favourite things I've ever made.
Hand dyed merino silk (70%-30%) spun as a single and plied with silk thread. Used as warp and weft.

Shetland fibre and mulberry silk spun into a single and plied with silk thread. It's my favourite spinning method when I'm going to weave with the yarn as it gives texture but still allows the finished item to have drape.
