A busy few weeks at home with a 5th generation now living here in Kitty's Cottage. My beautiful great grandson was born 3 weeks ago.
Ive managed to wash some lovely Wensleydale curls that Im leaving natural.
Ive sorted out my Scottish pre tweed box and putting some 5m bundles together in preparation for the Christmas Wool Show at the National Conference centre in November. And I couldn't resist having a play with some scraps of tweed threads . I adore these little scrappy dolls.

The Halloween cat has made it to Newark Showground for this weekends wool and yarn show. He's an experimental work, felting on to linen. A great venue, Im loving the natural light. We have our home produced Leicester Longwool...sheep to yarn, along with Belper hand washed and carded Ryeland, North Ronaldsey and Jacob Cross breed. We have an eclectic mix of yarns for felting, knitting, weaving and crochet. Waterwheel and cardboard looms for weaving. Felting fibres in smaller amounts... and so much more ...yes we have been busy ! If you are at the show do pop and say hello.
Im with Heather on the Emstead Leicester Longwool
Stand.

Wow....I can't believe its Mid August. What a whirlwind July was with two wool fairs and an incredible Belper Woollen Woods . Ive washed, sun and breeze dried, then bundled some Jacobs X sheep fleece ( source Shottle) for spinners and felters wanting to process their own fibres. Ive also bagged up some dyed fibres in small amounts. Im popping them down to MaD Handmade Designs later today. Hoping everyone is well and tolerating the heat.
Thanks for reading x Kim x

Thankyou to all that came to say "hello" at the Midlands Wool Show and to those that purchased from Heather and myself at the Emstead Leicester Longwool stall. A quick turn around as yarn bombing for Belper Woollen Woods begins, after a year of preparation and planning.
The knitted ring below is a nod to knitted lace that began on the Framework Knitting looms in Nottingham. This year our displays will be heritage themed for Belper250 celebrations.

Another fleece in soak. A lovely Ryeland from Patsy on the lower Chevin, not far from where the North Ronaldsays graze.
