September tour - the fibre version part 1/4

 Now that I've pretty much recovered from the covid symptoms ( I never seem to teste positive but isolate anyway) I'm adding in a few details re textiles and fibres spotted on our last break.

First stop for thread related finds was Jedburgh, in the Jail to be more precise.



Where I found examples of Fine Cell Work on display and for sale. I remember this project being set up 25 years ago and I'm pleased to see that it is still continuing,




More details about Fine Cell Work can be found here,

The local knitting shop was closed due to holiday but I did spy some Fish in the window :-)


Later in the day I took my Nano into the Edinburgh Woollen Mill cafe across the road from the campsite and up to the town to a locals cafe and had some very enjoyable conversations with a party of visitors who used to work in the local mills and some ladies from Northumbria who were fascinated by the spinning.

I'm happy to hear you're feeling better. I can imagine the conversations you could have with that e-spinner. I've never seen one in action in person and I know I'd be fascinated.
