Page 197 - for the next set of quotes I have decided to try to go with the animal aspect. Today, the sheep reminds me of my spinning wheel, a thing I haven't really mastered to perfection, but have had fun trying! It is a lot harder to spin perfect yarn than it looks, and takes a lot of practise! My spinning wheel is a beautiful object, lovely dark coloured wood, and makes a gentle sound when working! I find it very relaxing trying to spin, especially out in the garden on a sunny day! I love all the different fleeces, their colours and textures. Though I will admit to preferring to buy cleaned fleeces rather than clean my own. Sheep are not as clean as they look grazing in the fields, the fleece is embedded with dirt and burrs and grass! The humble sheep has given us both textiles and food over the years. Must say I am partial to a nice lunch of roast lamb and mint sauce!

Great picture of your spinning wheel. Whenever I have watched someone spinning, it does look so easy but I can guess it isn't at all.
