We asked Christine Crofts for details of the spinning and dyeing of her wools, and she has invited us over for to learn all about it.  What a lovely offer, and won't it be great to look at the full range of colours currently available.

Boosted by this - and with DAMSON safely cast-off the needles - we plucked up our courage and worked out the pattern for an ombre tie in all-natural colours.  So far (about a third of the way in), is looking far, far better than we dared hope.  Watch this space!  (Mind you, is very taxing and will probably be a one-off special.)
