A day out at Greenacres

We enjoyed a fabulous day out at Burnham and were given a great insight behind the scenes
Threading the spinning machine

Rovings lined up ready to be spun

Industrial size wool winder!

One of the gilling machines

Some Romney roving being gilled

Fleece lined up for the drum carder

And like magic, roving comes off the other end

A few of the many many ribbons won by Greenacres

Val knitting a boys jersey that she first made 50 years ago for her own son

Some multi coloured roving to add to Fay's stash

Lincoln destined to be spun and woven

The first skein of Lincoln

Gilled Merino in one of many colours now available from Leo

Gilled merino spun
