I suppose, much depends on the outside temps and how long you need to keep the wool for?<br /><br />MM - I have a "thing" about herb gardens too and have a goodish one here, though I don't do much of the still room tinctures and tissanes with what I grow. I should I know, as I love that sort of thing, as does Rowan, who has enviably been on courses.<br /><br />Kim - it's similar to Butser Hill but has multi period houses. Is Butser Hill still just an Iron Age encampment?<br /><br />Ren and Rowan - it is only open on certain days of the year to us ordinary folk, which is a pity, but a friend of mine was saying it is a very popular destination for school trips in that area. Ill away and find the website for you.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798594086901897654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-36121440313187191942009-08-13T12:26:03.357+01:002009-08-13T12:26:03.357+01:00"is usually considered a feature that enabled..."is usually considered a feature that enabled wool to be stored at ambient temperature so it didn't get too dry to spin."<br /><br />Hi Jennie, that's interesting, though if the wool was greasy it would have been easy enough to spin, perhaps the sheep were soay.<br />If you want any weaving stuff by the way try 'Fibrecraft', expensive but interesting. My loom is coming out soon;)<br />That place sounds fascinating, always wanted to make a pole lathe.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-69750794516737299002009-08-13T03:06:07.746+01:002009-08-13T03:06:07.746+01:00I think living history museums are the best--one c...I think living history museums are the best--one can get a feel for how things were really done.

I can see why you are interested in the tablet weaving, I wonder if it's one of those ' easy when you know how' crafts that are much harder to actually do than you'd think when you watch someone else.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-75662265034232610622009-08-10T18:18:43.380+01:002009-08-10T18:18:43.380+01:00I think it's brilliant that it has all been do...I think it's brilliant that it has all been done by volunteers and quite a bit of it has been experimental archaeology - finding how to do things as they went along. The day out we had here was my husband's favourite part of our holiday.<br /><br />I did some Colonial/plantation archaeology when I was at Uni - so different to the Medieval Castles, landscapes and prehistory I was doing.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798594086901897654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3639892272013528432.post-33386271590042064642009-08-10T14:29:20.697+01:002009-08-10T14:29:20.697+01:00wow this is totally fascinating. i love that eart...wow this is totally fascinating. i love that earth house. i also love place that set up like this.
