upcycled/recycled skirt

I am not one for sewing, but I really wanted a skirt like this so the machine came out. I brought a denimn skirt and a skirt that was 6 sizes too big for me. But I loved the material. I got them from the RED CROSS. Altered them both and came up with this. I love it.

Thought I would wet your tastebuds with a little peek at some fleeces. I am not saying these will be in MY YARN but they could be.

Any you fancy? Its only a sample of the Breeds that may be used. All washed and ready for carding.

REMEMBER EVERY COMMENT IS ANOTHER ENTRY TO WIN



Shetland Moorit, shetland is super soft the fleece lends itself to fine spinning, which is why you get alot of sheltland shawls. This is the softest fleece of the british breeds. I love shetland for baby items.




Washed Romney Fleece, a beautiful soft fleece ideal for the beginner in washing and carding wool. It is lovely and soft. When felted it gives a textured finish.




Washed Black welsh fleece. A natural black colour, with reddish tips. from this tiny breed of sheep. An ancient breed of sheep which was around in wales in the middle ages.




Carded llama from Tollykit on misi. Super soft and flyaway, I will definately blend this to make a supersoft yarm

MAY GIVAEAWAY, its up to you!!!!!

Well, I think its time for a new giveaway. Do you agree?
As before, we will give you a brief, So last time it was the breed of sheep, you picked the colours. This time we are changing it a little bit. We are using NATURAL colours. So you can decide if you want plain chocolates a mix of browns and creams, cream on its own, ITS UP TO YOU. Also keeping in with the natural colours. Would you like a blend of something special? Maybe some soya, tencel, camel, llama or alpacha? You could go wild and have milk protein or recycled bottle tops. We will let you know the breed next week. Then see the difference again in what we produce.

What type of wool would you like? Something arty, thick and thin, even, chunky?
