    Wool and Wood

    Hello everyone, Firstly sorry if I'm not keeping up with replies.. I'm not good at that sometimes. Secondly I thought I'd share an update of what I am making at college.

    I actually can't remember who I watches to learn with a drop spindle! I would have just searched on youtube though. Everything I learn is from youtube

    I believe in the first picture is what they call a "niddy noddy" such a strange name for something! That boat is really impressive. I am not familiar with what composite fibre construction is though I must say.

    Ahs so coo!! what type of loom do you use? I'm built myself a huge pin loom to make cushion covers and I am going to attempt to upholster a piece I have made on to a small stool, using an upholstery technique we learned at college. I did try to make a table loom of sorts but my first attempt...

    I taught myself to spin by watching videos online. I fear that I have taken on too much of a big task with the spinning wheel It may turn out to be WSO (wheel shaped object) as spinners call them, rather than a functioning wheel. We shall see

    Wool and Wood

    Hello! My hobbies are anything to do with wool - spinning, dying, knitting, crochet, waving and probably more in the future and wood - I am currently doing a furniture making course and am making a new spinning wheel. Does anyone else here share these mediums?

    Thank you all for your lovely welcoming comments. I posted a similar post on another site and I got a bit overwhelmed. With possible PDA issues, the advice thrown at me felt more like telling me what to do, or that I am doing things wrong... so a nice peaceful welcoming on here is much...

    Hello there! Firstly I am useless at navigating these sort of things, it takes me a lot time to figure out where everything is and how they work! So if someone could kindly point me in the direction of a "parent of ND child" or something similar that would be great. My son is on the...
