I always think I have planned well ahead, am on track with making stock, dyeing wool, hand spinning yarn, weaving rugs and carding fleece ready for kits....and then it's April and I feel a lump in my gut as I try hard not to PANIC as time ticks on by, far to quickly!.....
I can only do what I can do I have consoled myself....nothing I sell is bought in, nothing commercial, just me, a tin bath for washing fleeces, spinning wheel to spin yarn, drum carder for combing wool and a simple loom for weaving. All dyeing is done on the Rayburn in small batches and plant stuff harvested by hand seasonally. It's the way I like to be, perhaps not the greatest business model, but I can't produce my products any other way. I have a passion to keep things as natural and honest as possible.
....soooo here I am running about the place, washing fleeces, and packing up beautiful, natural coloured wool....loving it....but needing a bit more time.....
What will be will be......
Washed some lovely old hessian sacks today ready to be filled with carded wool for loom kits....
Am happy....in a slightly anxious way...not stressed as such, not yet!
