The Stitchery of Catherine Hill, a Lancashire Lass
Most people are happy with a pet goldfish, cat or dog but my younger sister has an alpaca or three. They have a wonderful temperament and keep the weeds down in her meadow and also produce wonderful fleece…. which she gives to me !

I love any opportunity to use a Lucet.
As part of a recent rust dyeing session, I dyed a lovely bundle of vintage cotton string from the Arnold’s Attic stash.
This lovely rusty string came in very handy for some co-ordinated cord I needed for a new rust project I was working on.
I dusted off my Lucet and went to work making a batch of braid.
Sunny days create a perfect opportunity for some rust dyeing.
A box has been slowly filling up with rusty bits n bobs, some of which came from beach combing at Aldeburgh.
Bags full of fabric scraps, vintage bits and pieces of plain cotton were waiting, ready to dye.
