GOLD STARS!

This alpaca saddle fleece submission has made me so happy! It’s made a 2.5hr trek to be dropped off to me, perfectly skirted and labelled!

It’s the simple things that make me happy 😆

Watch this space for its adventure to be turned into yarn.

Spinning the last bag of fibre for Brickendon Estate! I’ll be even more excited when I’m washing the last of their completed skeins of yarn!
