Out in Huntly today promoting rare breeds...great fun.

OH gave gave some of our castmilk moorit fleece to Vctoria Metson who is a spinner.
she produced our first ever sample of 'our own lambies' wool.

This is my first experience of watching wool being spun, and I was entrigued by the
whole process, I tried spinning it a bit myself...but builders hands lack the touch...and patience.

So my hat goes off to all you spinners out there, your doing a great and underated
service to sheepies. 

Keep up the good work,  need you!

Thankyou Bangbang from a novice spinner

That sounds like a good day out      I love showing people how to spin and how simple the process is.  I truly think that many more people will start to spin and knit again in the not too distant future  - great news for sheep

Keep at it Bangbang, your hands would soon be as soft as a baby's bum

OH might appreciate it!

That's great to hear, and yes of course you should persevere - no reason you couldn't get the hang of it.

However, I wish you'd shot a video.  I am not yet anything like good enough to spin my own CM fleeces!  (Way too short for my current skill level.)

We have her number Sally so we'll speak to her and see what we can do.
We did give her 2 CM fleeces, cos we could, so what goes around comes around
hopefully...
If she lets us video her spinning the CM fleece we'll post it ASAP!

That would be good to see.
