Much to my complete astonishment, I won first and second prize in the “Fancy yarn” section of the handspun competition at the Rare & Traditional Breeds show at the Weald & Downland Open Air museum. Gobsmacked is an understatement.

Just to add to the happies, Kate won the “novice” class as she only learnt to spin in 2008 (not that you’d know, to look at her yarn)
