I suggest using short lengths of wool threads to stitch with to minimise wear on the thread as it is continually pulled through the fabric. This is especially true of the singles threads; the plied ones are more wear-resistant.

Any of these skeins may leach a little dye. Please consider pre-soaking skeins in warm water to remove residual dye.

Reflecting on a rather lovely retreat and planning to soak up some sunshine in between minor chores. Nothing too taxing!
🙏🏻
Early morning beauty - a bright and beautiful start to the first full day of the stitching retreat🤗🌞🪡
Organised✔️
Ahead of schedule ✔️
Van packed with food and textile treasure✔️

Time for a coffee fix and a wee game with Bruce🐾before I head off for the next few days. 

Hugely looking forward to bringing stitchy folks together at my retreat. 

Definitely planning another for next year so sign up to my newsletter to be first to hear about it in the autumn😉
This too is prep!
Making a version of falafel for my May stitching retreat that starts tomorrow🤗

I am trying out DMC Eco Vita wool threads on a piece of dyed blanket. No rules, just experimenting. I like the soft colour palette of these naturally dyed organic crewel wools which I found at @mybearpaw  a couple of weeks ago. I succumbed to lovely Japanese fabrics there too🤗
