I love making soap, there’s so much variety and creativity involved. Practical, useful consumables, and perfect for gift giving. This year I made them with 50% tallow and 50%plant oils..it’s so much cheaper! #coldprocesssoaps #handmadesoaps

I make soap too, a huge batch once a year, enough to supply the family. New recipe this year includes tallow; it makes the soap hard and lasts longer. I add essential oils too, here is Basil/Lemongrass, and behind is Eucalyptus /Lavender. #coldprocesssoap #soapmaking

These handdyed batts were so much fun to make, but I’m back to processing my monochrome fleece again! #handdyed #fibreprep

That was fun; this 60g and only a single pass on the drumcarder. #cardedbatt #handspinning

I need a bit of colour today, and am keen to start dyeing these locks for more fibre play on my new drumcarder. Fleece is Corriedale x Border Leicester and there’s a bit of English Leicester too. #handyeing #fiberprep

I used to be really strict on myself to achieve a machine like consistency when spinning yarn, and I can do that. But lately I’m all for handspun that looks a little sloppy, more thick n thin. It knits and weaves up so nicely. I guess having skills that can produce both at will is 👌👌#handspun

And this woven wrap is finished. I love the colour play- yarn came from BendigoWoollen Mills. I rarely buy yarn but this handspun lookalike was irresistible! #handwoven #rigidheddle

This beautiful yarn was made at our local woollen mill; I love its barberpole colours. #Rigidheddle #weaving

This batt was made with 10%each of white English Leicester and white Border Leicester X Corriedale and 80%dark grey Corriedale. It still spun up wiry! But those Leicester breeds make a durable yarn. 3 plied and still soft enough to knit a next to skin garment. #handspinner #handspunyarn #fiberprep

Drumcarding is a thing right now. So much quicker and easier than combing. Really love my fibre tools.

I’m going to make yarn to weave a rustic looking lap blanket. Spinning in the grease then scouring the skeins. #handspinning #fibreprep #rawfleece

Heavenly soft Corriedale fleece, this is much softer than usual. Batts are mixed with dyed locks of the same fleece. Love tweedy yarn. #handspun #fibreprep

I’m playing with my new fave toy, an Ashford drumcarder. It’s so much easier on the wrists than combing as a way to prep fleece, and I’m learning it’s many artful methods. #fiberprep #handspinning

First pic is 3y using chain plied method , so the colour is not homogeneous, 2nd pic is 3pliex using 3 bobbins which evened out the colours nicely. #toudrdefleece2025 #handspun
