Ball Brausers, Water Sprinklers or Felting Pears, what ever you call these, they are now in store and I will be stocking these regularly now.

I use these ball brausers all the time when I am felting, they make it much quicker and more efficient to wet out your lovely wool and silk fibres. When I first started to make felt I was using a small spray bottle like you get 'Spray and Wipe' in but I always found the spray was too light and when I was spraying the water was just sitting on top and not penetrating through the fibres to the bottom.

I have been looking for some time now for some new bobbins for my Majacraft Aura spinning wheel. I bought 3 when I purchased the wheel 2 years ago but always wanted some more, actually, lots and lots more!

This year I will be trading at the historic Campbell Town Show on Friday 31st May and Saturday 1st June. Hope to see lots of familiar faces in the crowds. As this will be my first year in, it will be a bit of a learning curve for me. I will of course be taking lots and lots of my hand dyed Tasmanian Merino wool top in all the new colours unless they sell out before hand. I have been working hard trying to catch up on some felting projects and you will have to come and see what I...
