    The Threshing Barn Craft Workshop News and Calendar Summer to Winter 2013 On the Move We have decided to sell the farm and move on to the next exciting adventure (watch this space). The Threshing Barn will be coming with me, so don’t panic you’ll still be able to get your supplies. So would you be interested to follow your dream of running a small holding of 36 acres with the workshop? You could live in a beautiful upgraded Grade 2 listed farmhouse full of old features. In the courtyard are the buildings we have used for the craft workshop with business use planning on. Then there’s the original Threshing Barn ready for conversion subject to planning permission. There are 2 new agricultural barns and secure workshop. We have lived here for nearly 16 years running our vision for a sustainable farm and associated craft business. My children live in Australia, Hong Kong and London and now being a grannie I want to spend more time with them and this is not possible with livestock. Contact us for details of our agents. New Website With the growth of our mail order business the website has been rebuilt on a more user friendly, more informative basis. You still need to phone or email with your questions and orders. The glitches are being ironed out and I thank Pete our website guru for his patience. He now knows the difference between a stick shuttle, a boat shuttle and an end delivery shuttle!!! It has been a marathon on his part, literally as he crippled himself last week whilst running a half marathon, so he’s had time to recover working on our website.

  • 4.3 Characterization Methods for Slub Yarns
    ABSTRACT Jaganathan, Sudhakar. Characterization Methods and Physical Properties of Novelty yarn. (Under the guidance of Dr. William Oxenham) The purpose of this work is to find the characterization methods which quantitatively define the inherent properties of novelty yarn. The research was divided in to two parts. In the first part various instrumental methods and techniques were investigated to characterize the physical properties of the novelty yarns. Various structural properties of gimp and slub yarns were defined and characterized. Instrumental method included CTT Tester, Hairiness tester and a Traveling Microscope. An image analysis algorithm was proposed to measure the size distribution of novelty yarn structural effects. In the second part visual perception of novelty yarn texture was characterized. A texture nomenclature based on the theory of “Textons” was developed. A human psychological survey was conducted to get observers response on texture terms. We proposed various image analysis methods to quantitatively characterize the novelty yarn texture. The image analysis method had good correlation with human psychological response on the novelty yarn texture.
