I also like making felt, using merino fleece ornamented with silk and mohair, and combining this with weaving, knitting and crochet, I enjoy spinning, both wool and silk, but am not always satisfied with the result.
However I have found a use for my varigated yarns in patchwork knitting. Recently I have also been experimenting with yarn-shifting, a technique of producing small pieces of weaving to assembly into larger items.
I enjoy the challenge of making items for exhibitions. I also like to share my enthusiasms,with others, and membership of the Guild enables me to do this. Enquiris To Ann Evans, e-mail address.... desmond.evans@durham.ac.uk
