RichardB Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thank you Edmund, I particularly like Dentons Wheel and Tilt between the cliffs - just need some "map fairies" to join in now, or I need to check SFCA for precise location (grid reference). I'm not feeling very well at the moment, I'll get by; however I do have a GIS Technician held captive for his spare time for the next month. He's from Sheffield and his mother's a teacher (and expecting "stuff" for her pupils), so hopefully if I chuck him some crumbs now and then we can try to pull something together before March.

vox Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Carding , Combing & Hackling"Wool Blending hackles are produced for the blending of fibres to make special blends of combed tops. We also produce Flax hackles to special order" --------------- "Standard felting needles have tiny barbs along the length of the shaft, capturing fibres and pulling them in to carry out the felting process. The reverse needles work in just the same way, except the barbs are facing the opposite direction. This means that the fibres are pulled outwards. The results are the same, but leaves a slightly fuzzy layer on the outside of the piece. This is a wonderfull effect on its own, but it can also be useful if you intend to finish the piece by wet felting the outside" winghamwoolwork.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
