I hand dyed some bendigo 3ply pure wool and was amazed at the pattern that evolved!

Knitted them with my sock machine 36/72 cylinder



quaranup spin in

Here are some pics of our Spin-in held at camp Quaranup the old quarantine hospital parts of it built in the late 1800's. Fabulous couple of days, good company, food and scenery. We did actually get some spinning done!

It sits on a peninsula with the harbour on one side and the southern ocean on the other. Beautiful bush and beach walks for those energetic enough! All this only 10 km from home.

striped bias hat

Another one of my hats.

I have just finished a pair of slippers. I crocheted some wool that I had spun a while ago. Fairly coarse, about 30micron, natural colour.  Threw them in the washing machine and put them through the cycle twice. They felted nicely. So I put another pair, before felting,  in the pic for comparison. What a difference.

nappy soaker

Here is the nappy soaker that I have just hand knitted using some very soft merino tops that I spun on my Ertoel wheel. Also I hand dyed the tops before I spun a three ply.

Another name for it is babies bum jumper.
