Cornish Camels - Spin Local!

摘要

At the new Cornwoolly show in Spring 2017,I met up with a couple of girls whom I had taught to spin several years ago; I knew they had been looking at all sorts of ways to diversify the farm and that they'd settled on breeding camels as a visitor attraction. When they mentioned the fact that the camels kept shedding and they were building up quite a mound of camel fibre, I made interested noises and told them to get in touch if they decided to start selling it. A couple of months later they did just that and a few friends and I parted with a tenner each for a large paper sack (the contents of mine weighed 557g) of rather hairy looking clumps of fuzz.
