FORGET WASHING.

Scientists have invented a fabric which you don't need to wash. It repels dirt, and smells. I like doing my laundry, but it's a marvelous idea for camping trips.  I like the scientific diagrams so I drew them.

1. Nano particles are attached to clothing fibres using microwaves.
2. Chemicals which repel water, oil and kill bacteria, but can not be directly applied to the fabric, are bound to the nano particles.

LAST PINS FOR NOW, BY KIRSTY HALL.

We are delighted to have Kirsty Hall back for the last two days of her show. You are all welcome to come and tell Kirsty about your pin stories over a cup of tea tomorrow. 

Kirsty has enjoyed studying the pins that the East End Bangladeshi ladies wear on their head scarves.  It is quite common for them to wear a simple dress making pin.

GROWTH ON THE CEILING.

Thank you to Zara, Barbara, Celia, Martha, Amaia, and Meiko, for sporing the delightful mushrooms, we found growning on the ceiling this morning. We all enjoyed Meiko's pattern and they look especially trippy in the handspun. 

It was a delightful afternoon with Louise on the Banjo and Celia's story telling.  We look forward to seeing Meiko again with her 99 lizards in June.
