Debbie’s Wool Combs

The wool combs are now back in fashion. Here you see Debbie using wool combs and the beautiful tops coming out of it as she goes. Who would believe those sharp medieval things could produce a cloud like top. Thanks for using them Debbie. By Lyn A.

Precinct Open Day

Here is Lyn and Gay having a bit of fun under the sign. Bruce spruced up the sign to make it nice and clean and a quick decision had to be made for a photo for the Seniors paper to put an article in for the Precinct Open Day which is on 14th April. By Lyn A.

Life Members

Olive and Megan when they received their life memberships. Great going girls!

Sukrita’s Onion Dyeing

I love Sukrita’s dyeing experiments. This one is onion skin dyeing. What a great colour.

Julie’s Birds

Julie’s vivid display of little birds. I think they’re all males!

Maggie’s Handspun

Great handspun by Maggie. Her single has been plyed with some lovely blue commercial two ply wool.

Sukrita’s Dyeing

This skein of wool was hand dyed by Sukrita. The blue is so vibrant.

Laura’s Spinning and Knitting

The above skein, handspun by Laura, is made from a mix of merino, angora and tencel. The wrap below was handspun and handknitted by Laura, using a merino and silk fibre blend. Lovely!
