Spring has definately started off with a burst of energy from myself and the garden, and ewe guessed it! It is also time for the sheep to be shorn. This time of year is full of wonders and my gratitude is overflowing for all the seedlings, flowers, and herbs that are showing me their new locations. Yes, they all went to seed and have landed where they want to grow, that is my kind of gardening .
Our shop has more gorgeous items added.
Soap Box - A new batch of Kawakawa and Dandelion Soap has been made and is available online or come along to our next November market days. https://www.alchemistsden.com/shop
Sheepish Stuff - I now am offering chunky, uneven, hanks of washed natural fleece for sale, these are hand spun from unwashed local fleece, then washed and dried. They will have a nominal length of 21m. Ideal for multi media crafters who make wall hangings, weavers or to just wear as a natural wool scarf.
