Dear Spinning Circle,This month, Katrina and I decided to mix things up for you and I am so pleased with the results - so much in fact, that I am excited to share this with our entire Patreon community a little bit early!

Thank you for joining us this month as Becca, Katrina and I reflect on this most recent Breed & Colour Study.

Becca chose to spin her Dorset in 3-ply yarns, which can be seen here. They are beautiful. And the inspiration photo is shown above that was submitted by Charlette (@carlotta).

Thank you for joining Katrina and I in the second part of our discussion that started last month while we were signing books. We had begun to move into a conversation about discomfort in our making.
