Me with Jonny at Garthenor to discuss the spinning of a finer weight yarn 2/11’sNM
I visited the lovely Jonny who owns and runs Garthenor with his lovely Mum Sally, to chat wool (obvs).
Now that Jonny has set up his contract spinning it means that I have the very real prospect of bringing my Cambrian wool spinning to Wales.
How fab is that?
Welsh fibre
Spun in Wales
Woven in Wales
Knitted in Wales 🙌
Ok …. so we can’t do the processing bit in Wales (at scale) but that’s ok. 3 out of 4 can’t be bad.
Jonny has spun a 10 kilo ‘bump’ for me onto a finer weight, 2/11’s NM. This one of the weights we had spun on the original Cambrian Mountains project and we had some beautiful twill fabric woven at Cambrian Mill (now unfortunately not producing woven fabric any longer).
I have sampled it on my domestic knitting machine and it’s works well in plain knit or fairisle mixed with a heavier weight.
