Woolgathering.org.uk is the home of The Woolgatherer, aka plumbum. You are welcome – please shut the door, take a seat and wait for the tea to arrive.

Why not pick up the Magazine while you are waiting?

Woolgathered concentrates largely upon the fibre habits of The Woolgatherer but also encompasses several areas of Woolgathering Lifestyle. Pull-out sections are available for readers with focused interests. The following guide may help.

Contents

The Contents listing in the sidebar shows the titles of, and links to, the  most recent 15 postings, irrespective of Category.

Breaking News

In the sidebar you will find the Breaking News – otherwise known as a Twitter Feed of most recent wooljabberings.

The Tabbed Sections

The tabbed sections mainly display an extract from the most recent post in a specified Category or group of Categories.

• Cover – the Cover Story is a recentish post from any category that strikes the Editorial Whim
• Fashion – the most recent featured FO (Finished Object)
• Style – a post from categories reflecting our island lifestyle, plus worldwide connections:
  • General woolgatherings
  • Food
  • Island Life,
  • Cats,
  • Dogs,
  • Worldwide connections
• Review – a post from the Reviews category
• Opinion – a very personal view
• Classified – promotions and direct purchasing links
• Stoppress – important admin news, usually

These arrangements are subject to editorial change, as the need arises.

The Pull-out Sections

All posts are Categorised. All posts in any chosen Category may be read independently – therefore the reader who loves knitting but loathes cats should be able to navigate a safe passage though the site. Please use the drop down Category listing to make your choice, or click any Category link in any post to read more posts in that category.

Category feeds are available – look for the sidebar link on any Category page.
