05.01.2022 First (and probably only) market for 2020! Excited to be amongst other makers and artists at the Wollemi Artisan Market in Katoomba on Saturday 19, in a responsibly social-distanced manner of course I will have freshly cranked hand-dyed socks, alpaca fingerless mitts (I hope!), handwoven tea towels, and of course scarves

04.01.2022 Possibly the snuggliest softest warmest socks ever! I recently bought a limited amount of factory relocation luxury sock yarn containing 40% possum fibre and oh my goodness the resulting knitted fabric is amazing. These will be winter-wear only, as possum fibre provides incredible warmth. Although it’s not a particularly cold day this pair is being road tested today for wearability/durability by my resident mountain goat . 40%possum 50%wool 10%polyamide Colour: boring .... #sosoftandthick #nzak #possumsocks #circularsockmachine #handcrankedsocks #virginiaburrowdesign #mtnsmade #thenookatleura See more

01.01.2022 Rigged up an off-loom warping solution using my warping frame - looks tricky but its less backbreaking than leaning over the loom to do it. Heddles and reed threaded in one hook motion, one thread per heddle, two threads per reed slot.
