Labyrinths

I've been mesmerised by labyrinths ever since I met my first, in the form of an 11 circuit Chartres Cathedral labyrinth, laid out with stones, on a hippy commune in the Adelaide Hills. After we parted, I kept trying to follow the labyrinthian path enticing me, but it wasn't until my son Merlin was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 2016, that I KNEW I needed a labyrinth in my life.

So I handspun and crocheted a three circuit, three dimensional labyrinth out of sheep fleece from my fairy fibre mother back in South Australia. And a rug to go under it.
