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,
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.
