The Echuca Vintage and Steam Rally ..

..is on again this weekend.
Rain is predicted Saturday and clearing Sunday, but it has never stopped visitors.
I will be in the Shed as usual demonstrating how to spin wool. All my goodies will be there.

Washing Fleeces..

..I thought it was about time I started getting more fleeces prepared. I am currently carding one, so taking one bag at a time I have started washing another fleece bit by bit so the work does not feel so monotonous.
This week I have one of my poncho/wraps to replace, I am still spinning a soft merino in pastel colours that I blended. And I have been spinning white Corriedale tops at the markets, so will finish and dye another 2 this week.
Need to dye more wool tops as well, and start winding off the 8ply yarn for dyeing.
and after that will see what I can do extra.
Only one market next weekend.
Mooroopna Accredited Farmer's and Craft Market next Sunday.

Seymour Alternative Farming Expo..

Getting ready for the weekend markets and Pop up shop..

The Yarn Van set up at the Markets..

...seems to be working well, and lots of compliments.
Sunday March 15 I will be at Mooroopna Market.

Starting to add to the website...

..It is a little daunting getting used to the new website, but at least I have added some beanies and machine knits.
I have also updated the Etsy store with a couple new yarns.
