A very busy week, so here's a roundup of my Tour de Fleece so far. I'd love to know how your projects have been coming along! **I love helping people learn about fibre arts...

Your workshop on Sunday was absolutely brilliant. It was clear that you had gone to a huge amount of trouble to prepare all your many swatches, not to mention your technical skills which enabled such a clear presentation. I learned such a lot and look forward to trying out some of the techniques you presented. Thank you!
I was one of the 240 participants in your workshop. Wow! Your workshop was one of the best I've attended in ANY field, not just fiber and spinning. Your information was clear, concise, and backed up/demonstrated by all of your amazing samples. I am a very new spinner. I have several John Arbon blended tops, and thanks to you, I know how to get started with them, as well as how to explore and experiment spinning them. Thanks so much for all the time, work, and dedication you poured into your workshop preparation and delivery. harpingJanet
What a review! Thank you so much Janet. ☺️ I'm so delighted that you found it useful - please let me know how you get on with your tops! Do you mind if I quote this review on my website?
Wow, I've been to lots of A&P shows(agricultural and pastoral) as they're known here in NZ, but I've never seen a yellow or orange dyed Suffolk!!! Maybe it's just the UK? I DO know that what they're assessing while they're looking at sheep bums, and it's development of the muscle, cos the hind leg is the leg of lamb. It needs to be well muscled.
Thank you so much for leading the workshop, and for all of the thoughtful prep for it! You’ve inspired me to start spinning some treasured JAT Devonia top I’ve been saving
I come to any workshop you do! Too bad you are so far away. I love how busy you are for TDF and how much you planned ahead for it. My kids and grandkids all come every year during TDF. Sigh...
Aww, thank you! Hopefully there will be more online workshops and maybe one day I'll get to do an in-person one somewhere near you! That's very inconsiderate scheduling on your family's part! 😂 I'm normally a lot less busy/organised for it but this year it's all fallen into place.
