Handspun from the curly fleece of the Slazenger, a shy creature that can be found lurking in the leafy suburbs of SW1.
This was plied, whacked and dried by Wednesday morning but only given to Felix (as a rather belated birthday pressie) on Thursday evening. I've got to say that the presentation (in a recycled cardboard takeaway carton) was Aliki's genius idea.
The fibre is wool hand-dyed by Mobair (aka Victoria Smedley). I saw it at the Festival of Quilts and immediately thought of Felix. Happy Birthday (three months ago).

I love my yarn so much!
I am still thinking about what to make with it. Given the setting in which you presented it to me and the theme of the moment, I think it will end up being some kind of amazing 'green fingers' gloves.
You are so thoughtful. Thank you very much xxx
