Fallen Leaf shawlette by Kyoto Nakayoshi
in handspun Camelbunny Silk Cashmere,
handknitted by SoulCrafting Shevi;
The shawlette only weighs 32 grams !

A week before a big show it’s always a mad dash to get as much as possible ready, labelled, dyed and dry and packed. I have to admit I could not do as much as I wanted to but there will still be a little mountain of fibres and yarns available. As I type this I am still spinning and plying some wallaby Bunny yarns. It’s all go!

I did have a bit of a panic attack at one point thinking “ I am sure I had more handspun angora yarns” I must have stashed them away somewhere so safe I cannot find them! The search continues ! LOL In the meantime I have a list here for all of you who are going to the Pakenham Wool Day on Sunday the 29th of September. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the show !

IxCHeL Buddhas tears tea

Two organically grown superior green tea leaves and a jasmine bud are plucked from the best quality tea bushes and mixed with delicately smelling jasmine blossoms, then sieved and hand rolled on bamboo trays, into small balls while the leaves are not quite dry. 

The leaf captures the fine jasmine aroma and releases it during brewing, giving a champagne coloured cup. 

 Brewing: 1-3 minutes 75-80degC , 

 4 pearls/cup, 

you can reinfuse 3-4 times so those 4 pearls last a looong time

Carefully handrolled tea

Enjoy the tea over and over again, by adding hot water again and again
