New addition to the family
Meet the latest addition to my family. Her name is Bazurka the Mazurka, and she is simply beautiful!
I took a trip to Wingham Wool Works on Sunday with Babylonglegs to buy her, and I can't recommend them highly enough, not only are they based in the most beautiful sleepy village, but the staff were really helpful, and they had a selection of fibres to die for!
There is a room full of wheels which they were happy for me to try out, and three barns full of fiber, in over 120 colors! This is the range I bought, although you can't really see all of the colours, there are 2 lots of natural BFL, and 1.5KG of various merinos.




This is the one I chose for my sock pal, who is lucky enough to be getting socks made from the first ever batch of yarn spun on my wheel. I haven't decided what pattern to do yet, but I'm sure once I have balled the yarn (yup I've spun 4oz already) It will come to me!

Purdy! It looks awesome!
I just realised that you've got Yes Prime Minister and Battlestar Galactica on your wish lists. Neil might have these that he can copy for you. I will ask him!
