Fleece

I used to make felt and, over the years, I have acquired a rather large collection of fleece. Some of this in the picture I brought back from New Zealand and some came from local sheep breeds. Today I decided to get everything out and have a go at making some pieces of felt. I had forgotten just how much hard work is involved in rolling the work until it felts.

 
I watched walkers set out this morning in lovely sunshine; many returned later very wet, having suffered several sleet showers. There was even a covering of snow on the hills. Now it is sunshine again.
