    If only I had the know how and the skills! However I am viewing it as a lifetime investment and a beautiful piece of carpentry to have in my home as well as the joy it will bring me as I spin my own yarn!

    They are lovely to look at. I should send you a fleece next shearing time. The young Shetlands are really good as they don't need much carding.

    That would be amazing! I have ordered some Shetland yarn ready to spin and I have heard it is lovely to work with :D

    Bit of an unfortunate name. Snail trail refers to snot in our house!

    I've just had a look after you said that :D My OH wears jewellery all the time, but I don't think she'll be wearing those any time soon :rotfl: But I am going to show them to her. :)

    They are, aren't they. I have small children with grabbing fingers so I don't wear jewellery these days, but I think they'd love them if I did - or try to eat them!

    Hello, btw, katholicos. Are you new here or have I been asleep again and missed your other posts?
