Mini Retreat in Hudson's Hope

When the NPSW didn't get enough people to attend their annual summer retreat at the Cameron outdoor centre, Frankie invited those who had wanted to attend back to her farm for a mini retreat. Here are the results:

Marnie, and Norma were spinning and Faye and Frankie were knitting. Here are Frankie's results. Zig Zag scarves are easy to do.

Norma was spinning a lovely green Romney and Frankie was stewing some avacadoes for a natural dye bath:


Marnie had some lovely Shetland/Romney x fleeces to sell so how could anyone pass up such lovely locks....


The rest of Saturday was Colour, colour, colour....



Faye went home on Saturday with a Counter Balance loom in her wee car..... have a look at how she fit it in.....

Crowded dye pots are fun to do so Marnie and Frankie kept on going with them on Saturday.....



Wow! We did a lot this weekend.....

We all had a lot of fun. It was a great opportunity to try some different dyes that we had never tried before and also just to catch up on projects that we were already working on. The avacadoes are still in the dye pot stewing and today will be strained in preparation for being used to dye some fleece. These retreats offer a prime opportunity to just relax and do what we love best. It's all about fibre!
