I've just watched BBC Breakfast News while eating my breakfast and am so thrilled to see Laxton Specialist Spinners featured! They only re-launched 12 months ago and have already made a profit and with Gledhills, it looks like British wool is making a come back. Hurray!

Centre Pull Ball Scarves
If you can remember, I did some indigo dyeing in the summer (when was that!) and at last I've finally found time to photograph my indigo dyed "Centre-
Pull Ball" scarves.
I wove them on a rigid heddle (Ashford 30cm Knitters Loom) with 2 "ends" of Blue Faced Leicester chunky wool that was indigo dyed as previously explained and 1 end of indigo dyed curled loop boucle.
The first scarf was woven with the same white BFL chunky yarn as the warp.
The second one was woven with the indigo dyed curled loop boucle.
I'm really pleased with them, I only wish you could feel how soft they are, oh and now I need to weave (or knit) the two "Shibori" hanks I dyed at the same time.
