Here is a video of Christine who lives in Battersea, one of the Furzedown Fleece team, she's demonstrating her skills on her portable fold-up spinning wheel...
She says she took up spinning when her local shop selling yarns closed, she finds it very restful - and sometimes needs a strong coffee to keep awake.
She has spun many different fleeces from sheep, goats, alpacas... once she even spun cat's hair but says it was very difficult and not advisable!
Pop in and say hi - you can even have a go, she's happy to talk and demonstrate spinning techniques,
