Crafting Through Loss...



I know it has been a few months since I last wrote about the exciting crafting that has been happening here in the studio. The reason being, in this such short space of time I have lost two close family members. While any loss is a difficult journey, two in a short 3 months has been an even harder one. But despite this rocky road there has always been one thing that has helped me through - my craft work!

I have managed to knit my way through some more squares on my slow growing blanket for my daughter , who will soon be turning one. I've dyed, blended and spun my way through fibre into yarn. I have also made a memory quilt, with some help cutting out the squares from a friend, and I found sewing this blanket one of the hardest thing I have made, yet a very therapeutic sew that helped immensely with the grieving process.
I might still be adjusting to life, now that everything has changed as it does after loss, but there are exciting new things happening in the studio!

I have a brand new line of Coloured Merino Top and it is a dream to spin! I am very excited about this new Merino top and it comes in 11 exciting colours! Now available in my shop.
There are also the new batts, rolags, yarn, knitting needles and crochet hooks, and plenty still to come! So please feel free to have a browse and message me if you have any questions.

Thanks for looking!
