Hanks are ready - not sure about me!

Well the hanks are ready to box, they are all labelled now! I still feel as though there is sooooo much to do - and we catch the ferry today!

Just to add to the event I am now working in Tamworth on Saturday - a Medieval Caligrapher will be my role there, so I will be driving off from the B & B in Builth Wells at about 6am leaving John to run the stall on his own again! At least I will be there on the Sunday to catch up with everyone!

A quick preview then:

A lovely day!

Today has been a lovely day - in more ways than one!

The weather has been gorgeous - lunch was under the Walnut trees in the coutyard, I only needed a T shirt on for most of the afternoon (and my trousers of course!!!) But the big thing was I was working in my dyehouse!
John has done a temporary fix for water and drainage, so I was able to get out and make a start on getting some yarns ready for Wonderwool next week. I know this is very last minute, but we were working in Pontoise (near Paris) over the weekend at an historical market and I need to re - stock!!


Something I'm really excited about here is the walnut trees - I have always had to buy in walnut husks in the past and have never managed to achieve the really good colours I know you can get with them - so I can't wait to get
experimenting! They haven't even got leaves on yet and I'm planning what I want to do!

I wonder if you can dye with hydrangeas?
