fibre-y things
February 25, 2018
the weather co-operated, snow melted
and the spin-in was a go
a line-up of spinners and wheels
and more wheels
everybody had a good time shopping
Tracy is almost finished building a new processing mill

her alpacas are gorgeous
the fibre is irresistible – I didn’t even try!
I’ve already started spinning the black – an alpaca/merino blend
and I’m going to need more of this alpaca/silk blend
but the loom is naked so it is back to thinking about warps
I inherited several binders of samples from a group called Cross Country Weavers
and have always admired this twill/lace block sample
beautiful with the light shining through
perfect for scarves
and a good day to wind the warp

there’s a project here to recuperate merino sheep. after all they come from here and was the source of richness of castille (shh the only thing they had besides bramble bushes ) just in case people wonder why they crossed the waters and landed in america lol.

Neki – most of the merino we use locally comes from Australia or N.Z. It is very high quality.

Kerry – I think we take it for granted, there is always something going on.
