Courses and workshops

Last Saturday we had a very busy and successful clippy rag rug course at Newton Village Hall near Pickering. I have been asked to teach a felting workshop on 16th of March and a patchwork course on 13th April please contact me info you would like more information.
The course dates for my workshops at home are now on the courses page and I will be adding more dates for later in the year soon. www.wheeldalewoolcrafts.co.uk/craftcourses.html.
I am busy dyeing prefelt in between building and new colours and selection packs will be added over the weekend  with more to follow. The plum is my favourite colour.
More painted tops will be dyed and added to my website as well.

More rag rugs, building and some Shetland tops

The landscape rag rug is finished apart from the fish, I need to find some sparkly fabric in purple, green and silver. I have found a nice mustard jumper to finish the diamond clippy rug. Just got to finish the edges and I have started a stained glass window clippy rag rug.

The house building is going well with the extension walls nearly finished. Moving the stone was hard work though!. After a days building I have been knitting stripey fingerless and continuing the rag rugs. Hovingham Market was busy on Saturday and I have put some painted tops, carded batts and a few other things on the website. 

I was hoping to do a website update every fortnight this year but with my cottage taking up my weekdays and the light no good for photographs in the evenings. I am just going to add new stock when I have dyed it and will then mention it in this blog. This week I have dyed more Shetland tops.
