Today’s plan was to go to Sumburgh Head, to look at the view
and the birds and to stop off at Hoswick (near Sandwich) briefly to see Niela and
then return via Loch Spiggie & St Ninian’s Isle. This is what we did! Wow –
if you want to go to a textile shop that is truly original, inviting and
inspirational then this is the one. You could just look for ages and think wow,
wow and wow. I had met Niela at Wonderwool and we have a mutual friend, Jeanette
Sendler ( in Perth and Newburgh www.textilecentre.co.uk
). It was great talking to Niela about her designer artwear , designer art yarn
, dyeing, textile things that I am doing etc that time flew by and I had to
remind Niela that I actually wanted to buy a ‘cardigan’ – this doesn’t do the
garment justice! My only problem was which one to chose. The designs are great
as are the fibres and construction and this will not be the only one I have
from her collections I know. Mine is a crocodile – upside down in glorious
shades of green. Do take a look at her site – www.nielanell.com
. The rest of the day was superb but this was the highlight for me!
I hope this conveys the scrumptious texture of my ‘upside
down’
