How to knit and Felt - A simple test
I always do this quick and simple test when I have a new yarn to work with.It gives me a very good idea of how well a yarn will felt.First I take a length of yarn in my hands about 2 metres is usually enough.Next I wet the yarn in hot water and add a little soap, not dish washing liquid, just ordinary hand soap, bar or liquid is fine. now the interesting bit - I rub the yarn in my hands quite vigourosly, at first nothing happens, just wet wool feeling a bit stretchy,

Early Morning Craft Show
Happily the day dawned bright and fine on sunday. Packing the car at 6.30 a.m I know this to be true because by the time the sun was peeking over the horizon we were half way to Peterborough to take part in theAutumn Show.

An early start for my next Craft show.
My exhibiters pack arrived today for the East of England Autumn Show. I had failed to notice that this event opens at 9.00am, I am used to a more leisurely 10.00 am start,however this time we will have to leave the house at 5.30am

Alpaca Wool - Will it Felt?
And the answer is yes!I am so delighted that Clare from JandJ Alpacas has asked me if I can make her a felt shoulder bag using yarn from one of her AlpacasI've never had a chance to work with this yarn before so I was very happy when a parcel arrived with ample yarn with which to experiment before making her a bag.
