On Sunday we had our annual sheep shearing and wool festival event. As usual we had a really nice group of spinners, weavers and felters - all happy to show their skills and help our visitors develop theirs. The sun shined, the visitors came and everyone enjoyed themselves but there was one complaint. The spinners normally have the complete run of the covered area of the farm to spread out in - to set up their wheels, display their finished products and allow the visitors to mill about. But this year, because of the four litters of pigs born within the week, they had to share their space with Pippa and her six piglets. However, they all agreed she was a very well behaved mum and her piglets were completely adorable.
Our thanks to Lavenham and Diss Spinning Guilds and the individuals that took part and our special thanks to Jen and Zoe for taking on the role of felters, in the absence of Helen, our regular felting guru.
