Wool Batts Collected from Griffith's Mill

Griffith's Mill have made a wonderful job of washing and carding my Shetland & Whitefaced Woodland fleeces.  The customer service at this great mini-mill is second to none.  The team are really passionate about what they do and they share my enthusiasm for rare-breeds.

Ever since running a workshop at the Chestnut Centre Otter and Owl Sanctuary, I've been desperate to make an owl tea cosy.  So that was my first project for the Whitefaced Woodland and Shetland batts.  The flashes of orange are BFL curls that were dyed with onion skins at the Rowsley workshop.
