Finished the scarf I made with the wool Susan gave me – just as the weather gets warmer! Now to decide whether to dye it. White is not a good colour in our house…

Pixie looking happy to be on her way home from the vet. She’s been losing her fur – in clumps – so she’s got special shampoo and drops. It’s not her favorite thing…

I decided I wasn’t going to use them as cocoons, so I degummed them. I should have taken a before and after pic as the interesting thing is I had dyed the cocoons some pink and some turquoise, however the turquoise came out of the silk during degumming. Now ‘all’ that remains is to spin it. I didn’t do a great job on the degumming, so I think I’ll spin a textured yarn to disguise the lumps!
