On Saturday, 10 July 2021, I put my spinning wheel with Samoyed fur and carders into my car for the first time since 2019! Had I got everything? So long since I had spun anything I had to check everything twice. Where was I going? Ah!! Sue Prior’s farm in Perry Green. OK. Get satnav out and find the way. All new as I had moved to the wilds of Huntingdon. I had a very good, straight forward journey and arrived just before 10am. Sue had cookers and pans already set out on tables in the barn with plenty of jam jars for putting dye stuff in. There was a table with the various coloured dye stuff and pipettes etc I was not dyeing so I set up my wheel and chair to spin and watch the fun. It was not long before there was lots of activity with skeins being untangled and jars filled with different colours being put in pans on the stoves. The skeins which had been 20 foot long and tied in 8 foot lengths were gently lowered into the jars. Finally, a big THANK YOU to Sue and Robert for putting up with us again. And Sue for the preparations for the day and refreshments. Hilary Hedderick Comments are closed.
