September/October 2010 I DO HOPE YOU ALL had a great summer. Travelling across America (see issue 35) was everything I hoped it would be. A highlight was meeting our US readers, some that have been with us for years and others who have just found us and are taking advantage of the lower rates we now offer American subscribers. One of the most memorable parts of my journey was a trek through the Grand Canyon. Americans are justifiably proud of this majestic landscape and of the country’s National Parks. But while I was impressed by these vast areas of untouched wilderness, I thought fondly of Britain’s more domestically scaled landscape, our modest green hills and well-tendered farm land. It was Bridgette Kelly from the British Wool Marketing Board who reminded me who we need to thank for our pretty countryside. Our landscape depends on grazing animals, particularly sheep, for its close cropped neatness. Without them our green and pleasant land would be much wilder. In the UK we have almost one hundred breeds of sheep who offer an amazing variety of wool, yet it is a handful of breeds bred for meat production that thrive while others are in danger of disappearing completely. The value placed on fleece is so low that farmers pay more to have their sheep sheared than they earn from the wool. Many factors influence the value of wool but if we focus on its amazing inherent qualities – it’s warm, wicks away moisture and is naturally fire retardant – surely we can trigger a renaissance of this fibre? Influential figures such as HRH the Prince of Wales and a growing band of supporters believe we can. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if British Airways joined in by using woollen blankets on their planes, if the government used wool insulation in new buildings, or schools required a wool blazer? Maybe we could all help by investing in a wool coat next time we bought one? If you need wardrobe inspiration visit the Horrockses show at the Fashion and Textile Museum. I love prints with strong colour and confident lines, like Vera Neumann's work, currently re-printed by Anthropologie, and those designed by Gudrun Sjödén. Her long awaited store will open in London’s Long Acre this autumn. September is an exciting time for design in general. During the London Design Festival, there is so much to see it can be difficult to focus so we’ve created a guide to help you find the best of the many things on offer. If you are choosing just one, then please join us as we contribute to the Design Festival and stitch 500 London pigeons at the V&A... Polly Leonard, Founder

My good friend Marion came yesterday to get her some Majic. She brought some too. Look at this "elephant head" of roving she bought! And my flowers! I have a special way of dyeing roving, there is little impact to the roving, you don't need a mile long set up and you can get a great, beautiful bunch of self striping spinning happening. And Marion took to it like a pro. You can lay them out two ways for different effects. Here Marion has applied her Magic Carpet Dyes in pastellish form below, most colours were straight from the jar. Here's our other pan below with the wool running the other way. And we added some echo pieces on the top and along the sides just to show what can be done. You get a shorter roving with the same colours in short sections from the on top pieces, and the beside pieces give you longer sections of the same colours because they're put in wavy wiggles. You just pop them into the oven then at 350˚F for 35 minutes or until the water is clear. Here they are in the sink cooling down after the oven. Happy Spinning for the Spinzilla Marathon Marion! Try dyeing this way for your next roving session. Does the Majic interest you? Go here to learn more about them

Use cold water and a mild detergent. Gently agitate the water and avoid excessive rubbing. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals when washing your skirt, as they can damage the fabric and affect its color. Gentle Handling: When washing by hand, avoid wringing or twisting the skirt, as this can distort its shape. Instead, gently press out excess water by patting with a clean towel. Drying: Lay the skirt flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources, as they can cause fading and shrinkage. Ironing: If necessary, iron your skirt on the lowest heat setting, preferably with a cloth or a press cloth to protect the fabric. Always iron on the reverse side to avoid direct contact with the fabric. Storage: Store your skirt in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Hanging it may cause stretching, so it's best to fold it neatly. Avoid sharp objects: Be cautious when wearing jewelry or accessories that may snag the delicate fabric of the skirt. By following these care instructions, you can enjoy your SNIDEL Roving Checkered Mini Skirt for years to come while maintaining its timeless elegance and quality.
