In research for a medical humanities article I am hoping to publish , you might be tickled to learn that the first ever handheld ultrasound was made in 1951 with a quartz crystal and rubber from a condom that was used to visualise a tumour in a woman’s breast!
Absolutely brilliant 👏🏽

this summer I have embarked on a wild journey…!
I sourced Shetland Moorit lambs fleece from a farm in Orkney 🏴 & am teaching myself the process of prepping wool !
skirted &scoured nearly 1kg of natural fleece ready to comb & handspin!
Love the natural colour!🤎

This type of darning has such a special symbolism ~ we will all experience “wear and tear” in our lives (or pesky creatures that like to do damage to our psyche 🦟)
