Hair Spinning!

January 19, 2018 craftsofirelandie-ninjaLeave a comment

My friend arrived this evening with a box of hair combed from her Rough Haired Collie dog and I couldn’t wait to get spinning it. It is the most beautiful shade of cream and spins so nicely. Thank you Esther!

The Schools Collection

September 1, 2016September 1, 2016 craftsofirelandie-ninjaLeave a comment

In 1937/38 the Schools Collection was written by schoolchildren all over Ireland to record the folklore of Ireland. This extract was written about the area where I am living, and states that wool spinning was a skill no longer practised. Glad to be part of reviving our heritage.
