Unique hand-spun

I'm absolutely delighted that my good friend Sue King, has provided Yarnsmith.co.uk with some stunning hand-spun yarn. Sue, who refuses to knit (!), is a great spinner, calligrapher, exponent of parchment craft and an expert maker of Japanese temari balls (the story goes that these exquisitely decorated spheres were originally created as toys which wouldn't go through the thin interior walls of Japanese houses!). Sue has been a member of the Mid-Essex Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers since the 1980s and can often be found demonstrating her spinning skills at the Melford Green Alpaca Open Days.
