Thank you so much for the information about your wool winder. I’m going to get one right away!

I’m wondering about the brand name of the caking machine (or a picture or a link). I think it would be useful to get one and I’m hoping they aren’t to difficult to figure out.

Caking your yarn means winding it up with a yarn winder. It turns a ball or skein of yarn into a little ‘cake’ :) Usually it’s done to turn a non-workable hank of yarn into something workable, but I’m doing it here because it’s easier to work with two strands when drawing from a cake. Hope that explains it a bit :)

What does “caked the yarn” mean? May I ask how it’s done and why it’s done? Yep, I’m a beginner! I still adore your projects! The square you worked up in the pic is gorgeous!

I bought this yarn some time ago! and yes I love that they were not mecerised as I was to be honest, sick of mercerised yarns! I’m working on a blanket using this for my mum at the moment! :)

Beautiful colors! Looking at your block I guess this will eventually turn into a blanket… Looks divine. Enjoy!

I’m going to guess that you’re making a gorgeous blanket? Love love love the colours, what an enormous pile of lovely wool! I never think much of brown but it seems to go so well with the pink and green shades. Looking forward to seeing some more squares :-)
