Notes on knitting, wool and slow evenings

A morning at the wool market

2026-01-14

Once a year a small market sets up in the old hall near the river. Local farmers sell fleece and spinners sell what they made over the summer.

I came home with far too much undyed yarn and a small bag of fleece I do not yet know how to spin. The stallholder said to start with a drop spindle and not to be discouraged by the first hundred metres.

Next year I want to bring a proper bag and a list. Both are things I said last year as well.
