One of the things I’ve been learning about in knitting garments is the amount of waste.... numerous trials have to be knitted before any given product is finished its design.
🧶
So I am trying to find every possible way to reduce the waste. 🙃
🧶
Knowing how long it takes to make the yarn in the first place and the skill involved, has made me appreciate it all that much more!
🧶
In the video I am actually rewinding knitted pieces which weren’t quite right back onto a cone so I can reduce the yarn. 🧶

This is Promy (Prometheus). And the yarn is his fibre from last year’s shearing.
Promy is one of my favourites 🥰 Adorable personality and a wonderful nature.
All going well he is going to be a 1st time daddy next year 🤞🤞🤞

With this post we’d like to kick off our “fibre stories” and traceability... starting with some of our own, but also you’ll see who else supplies beautiful fibre for our yarns. 🤩
