Waistcoat made from the fleece of local sheep. All the processing from raw fleece to finished garment done by hand.

Yep, the dust is real. I sometimes wonder if I should be wearing a mask when doing the dusty jobs like carding. Especially when I work with alpaca. That's insanely dusty no matter how often I rinse it.

Knowing the amount of gunk and sometimes creepy crawlies that come out of a fleece in the wash tub I don't fancy handling and spinning raw wool in my house. I absolutely prefer a hot soapy wash and whatever rinses are required. To each their own...
Processing wool from sheep to jumper is incredibly time consuming. Probably 200 hours in this jumper from raw fleece to finished garment. Skirting, washing, picking, carding, spinning, plying, wet finishing the yarn, knitting, blocking the jumper. Very enjoyable though. Highly recommend it!

Thank you vor reposting 😊
When I first went out it was a glorious double rainbow, by the time I got around to taking a picture this is all that was left.

2 Canada geese photographed in Germany. By the looks of it they're trying to figure out how to get back home and aren't sure which way to go. 😂

This long dead oak with a few crows perching on its branches is just perfect for today's #Spooktober prompt #trees.
One of my favourite photos taken on a fabulous day which I enjoyed lying in the grass in the field out back.

'Dem Boden ganz nah' #FotoVorschlag

Die Kamera war dem Boden ganz nah. Und der Fotograf. Bäuchlings auf dem Boden.

For #AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQuiet - Interior of a 'The Quiet Man' tribute cottage. It was very quiet in there. And bit creepy. Almost #spooky.

I rarely take pictures inside, but I had to take one of this. #Inside Dublin Airport. Several years ago.
