Wee road trip yesterday to collect some North Ronaldsay fleeces from Red Rock Flock
The first two now felted, I do love those colours.

Today's transformation.
Delighted with how well this Gotland cross washed up. Didn't quite manage to get all the blue marker out.

Wool at Portsoy what a fantastic day.
A huge thank you to everyone, it was brilliant. Means so much to my wee business. 😁
It's going to be a busy couple of weeks getting ready for my next event.

Yesterday's workshop. Customers own Valais Blacknose fleece, pictures show before felting, before washing, after washing.
Music to honour the late, great Dolly. 😢

Looking forward to Wool at Portsoy on Saturday

Everything is coming together nicely for Saturday, 29th incase you’ve missed all the previous posts 😁

Don’t you just love this beautiful woolly art work?

🟢One thing I keep having to mention is parking.
We always have locals asking for vehicles to be moved so residents can access/exit their properties.
🩷Please park with consideration to residents of Portsoy.
There is lots of parking on the side streets off the main road (Seafield Street). Or farther along Seafield Street westwards. Easy walking or wheelchair access.

🟠There are toilets in both venues.

ACCESSIBILITY 🦼

🟣Accessible entrances to our events:
Church centre through the front door.
Station Hotel through rear door…..
Progress along the side path passed the main door to the function suite. Take ramp on the left. The door is at top of the ramp.
Accessible toilets: the public toilets are on Seafield street just east of the Church Centre on the same side with a ramp.

Have a wonderful day at Wool@Portsoy
