the wonderful...

...wonderwool

a really fabulous place to go if you are

even remotely interested in all things woolly

handmade, unique items, great crafts people

beautifully made felt animals and figures

by jenny barnett

a great place to buy a new spinning wheel at

timbertops

...more of this later

pretty vintage and screen printed fabric bags

notebooks and purses by mud rabbit

and some real rabbits too

beautiful clothing made from organic welsh wool

a new venture for the lovely ladies

at llynfi textiles

organically hand dye yarns

make the most gorgeous knitwear

and are soil assocaition approved

as is this lovely natural wool by

garthenor

and yes...the burial cloud

or cosy coffins, as they have been dubbed

 beautifully handmade, thick wool ...a sort of sleeping bag

the ultimate exit if you want a very eco send off

...and if like me

you love all things woolly

happy days
