Summary: Hello from a sunny yet cold Cheshire Plain. In this episode I talk about the wanderer returning, wander with a wonderful friend and wonder at Wonderwool Wales. <br> <br> What's on my needles, hooks and wheel: Not much knitting or crochet in the last fortnight. Work's been busy and any spare fibre moment has been spent at my wheel. I've spun about 60g of <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/people/talesfromtheplain/stash/my-first-wheel-handspun">merino tops</a>bought at Wonderwool Wales last year into an as yet unspecified 2-ply yarn. Lumpy in places, but well balanced (like me, perhaps?) <br> <br> <br> <br> Over the Bank Holiday weekend I did finish the last of the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/cushion-tilting-at-windmills-2">NYOBE Round 5 squares</a>. <br> <br> <br> <br> Review: <a href="http://www.wonderwoolwales.co.uk/en/">Wonderwool Wales</a>. A brilliant time, with a fairly restrained amount of shopping I feel... <br> <br> <br> <br> Believe me, I could have bought an awful lot more! I mention pretty much everything in the podcast and link to it below, but when I looked at the photo I realised I didn't mention the glorious dyed oatmeal BFL from <a href="http://www.thethylacine.co.uk/">The Thylacine</a>. Bad podcaster! <br> <br> Want to go? Next year's dates are Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th April 2011. <br> <br> Links: <a href="http://www.knitwitchesyarns.co.uk/">Knitwitches</a>; <a href="http://www.sheepfold.co.uk/">Sheepfold</a>; <a href="http://www.dtcrafts.co.uk/index.html">DT Crafts & Design</a>; <a href="http://www.sparkleduck.co.uk/">Sparkleduck</a>; <a href="http://www.threshingbarn.com/craft-supplies/wool/">The Threshing Barn</a>; <a href="http://www.blackmountainalpacas.co.uk/">Black Mountain Alpacas</a> <br> <br> Music: Rondopolska by Barry Philips, from the album Tråd, available from <a href="http://magnatune.com/">Magnatune</a>. <br> <br> There's now a Ravelry group for the podcast, which can be found <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/groups/yarns-from-the-plain-podcast">here</a>. <br> <br> Feel free to leave a comment here or at <a href="http://www.yarnsfromtheplain.blogspot.com/">http://www.yarnsfromtheplain.blogspot.com/</a>, or email me at <a href="https://yarnsfromtheplain.podbean.com/mailto:yarnsfromtheplain@googlemail.com">yarnsfromtheplain@googlemail.com</a>.
