Press something hard into worded felt, and it remembers.

A letter from a friend sends Nora Bell north to Hollowmere, a Lake District fell village above the still waters of Gilt Water, where Ada Rourke keeps the old water-driven fulling mill turning. Ada's felt-magic is rare: fulled felt that "takes a bruise," holding the shape of whatever is pressed into it.

When mill "rescuer" Gerald Speke is found drowned in Ada's own fulling trough, the valley turns against her. But the felt kept a record, and Nora is the only one who can read it. With Detective Inspector Calder weighing every clue, Nora must follow the mark left in the wool back to a hand that thought it had left nothing behind.

A Bruise of Wool is Book 5 in A Bell's Fleece & Fiber Mystery series: a cozy, non-graphic Lake District mystery full of felting, mill history, and gentle magic.

Perfect for readers who love: Lake District settings, felting and fibre crafts, historical mills, and witchy cozies with heart.
