Are these the cutest lambs you ever did see?
They are Valais Black Nose Breed, a very rare breed and highly sought after.
The breed is renowned for their friendly nature and with their beautiful faces and wonderfully thick curly fleeces they are an absolute delight.
These little cuddly ones have had their very first shearing.
And I was given a boxful of that first softest curly wooliness!
I love to spin local wool, it just feels so right to work with fibre that is home grown in the village. I feel
my work becomes more grounded in the environment, gently and rhythmically spinning the wool on my wheel and hand knitting the yarn into a simple accessory is very satisfying. Continuing an ancient essential craft to produce modern handmade items.
So to thank Hazel for her lovely supply of the wool, to my studio, I enjoyed creating for her one of my SWH Cowl/Neck Warmer Designs.
Hand Spun and Hand Knitted SWH Cowl with handmade wooden buttons made by WrightTurned.
To all our family, friends and customers.
Thank you for all your support whether you are reading our blog, watching our YouTube, purchasing our work at Craft festivals or online.
We wish you a very Happy Christmas and a Happy Peaceful New Year.
Looking forward to bringing you more woolly and woody stories in 2025
