The 2025 spinning retreat in Bicheno was held in the hall and I just had to share a few photos of all the variety of spinning wheels that came together.
I wonder which is your favourite?
Below are some majacraft wheels.
This is the new majacraft Luna wheel.
One of my favourite, the ever reliable traditional wheel.
Episode 44 of the Bishopstone yarns podcast is now up for you to watch.
I still haven't got back into the swing of routine yet after being ill so I haven't got much spinning done but with Tour De fleece approaching I had best get myself ready.
Come and join me while I enjoy some spinning and carding. Sometimes things do not turn out the way I had hoped for but I change my spinning idea and continue on.
Bishopstone yarns, sit and spin episode 32 is now up on youtube for you to watch. I have finished my Birkin from my handspun and try to decide which colour to spin up next to ply with my black merino silk. I am having trouble deciding which colour would be best to use with such a dark single.
Sometimes it can be the small decisions that hold up a project for the longest time. Even though I am keen to start spinning on my next lot of singles I am finding it hard to make a decision about the best colour to add to my singles. I dont want to end up with a barber pole effect for this spinning project so making the right choice is important.
Maybe you have some suggestions for me. I am feeling like I need to start a new spinning project while I decide what to do.
