My quality control department is very exacting, and the Finn sheep/corriedale roving has passed muster! Also, his name is The Derpa.

Yarn spun and plyed on the Hilo spinning machine, this is Finn sheep blended with Corriedale. It feels lovely!

I’m loving that the Hilo spinning machine can take some load which means I can reduce RSI from handspinning!

I’ve been astonished with how much attention some of my videos have received. Hopefully, some of the fibre can get a portion of the interest that my machinery has received!

My focus is on small batch fibre commissions.
Once I’ve completed my active commissions, I’m wanting to work on stocking some product on our online store.
