These are the much cooler shorn sheep wondering what else is going to happen ! We went over to a fellow weavers to find out how to warp up a loom (properly !) and spotted two beautiful fleeces in the garage - mmmnnn ...... after a tour of the weavings inside her house and looking at several Rya rugs she had made we could hardly wait to make our own and the fleece was practically calling out to us. We decided to use the fleece in the grease - that means without washing and it is beautiful to use. so far we have made a car seat head rest each and a cushion for a friend and one of the car seat head rests hasn't quite made it outside as it is on an office chair. In fact I am using it right now as I type this :) Ecstatic to get this lot ! Fleece - we can hardly wait to get into this lot - going to be a mat, a car seat headrest and cushion Airing in the sun and planning to weave this lot in rya, knotted weaving in the grease...
Ever thought about generating your own electricity ? Growing your own food, living sustainably ? Maybe keep a chicken or two and some animals ? Living off the grid may not be for everyone but for enthusiasts its the bees knees and you don't need to go totally off grid to become a part time urban farmer.
