First mummy bandages ready for use, 2 metres of hand woven and largely hand spun linen from school grown flax @Cass_Liversidge

Thank you for the wonderful colour and scent @Cass_Liversidge

There is a thought by many that those that wear a kilt might be considered to be rather well dressed, elegant and to possess a certain cachet, indeed might even be on a par with a peacock, this lining chosen by an 8 year old seems that there might well be a certain truth in that

Today is Tartan Day, but why not wear a little piece of tartan everyday, there are thousands to choose from, don't save it for only one day.

Backstrap weaving is still continuing, schools home grown flax and pupil spun yarn, soon to ready for the mummy. @Cass_Liversidge

Very happy to be a dmall part of this project

A break over lunch, the boreray is washed and almost dry, pulling apart the clumps, carding and spinning in the shade of a warm and bright afternoon with the smell of the fleece mingling with sweet honeysuckle makes me a very fortunate, with very soft lanolin enriched hands.

Tartan masks ready for schools @Cass_Liversidge

Challenging for a hands on craft but very rewarding

What a wonderful treat, thank you so much

Thank you, it's growing. @Cass_Liversidge

Even though I'm not in schools I've still got lots of flax to spin, when can I come back, please... @Cass_Liversidge

Preparing the spindles for a new set of primary school children, with flax and drop spinning, I've missed it @Cass_Liversidge

A fascinating talk by Paul Henry Kilts describing the possibilities of natural dyes before 1450… Wow those yellows are bright! Also madder red/orange, indigo blues and woad as well as Alum - the mordant (dye fixative) at the centre of the House of Nicollet books Dorothy Dunnett Soc.

Preparing my supplies and equipment for teaching spinning in London primary schools, almost ready for year 4 and 5 pupils. GYOPlayground

Even full of coughs and a racking cough and feeling rough, a little weaving can still be done. @Cass_Liversidge

4 heddles all warped and started, and 8 shuttles loaded and ready for a few lucky London school children. @Cass_Liversidge
