There was so much yarn and fiber that a couple of times I was actually overwhelmed.
We were good and shopped more than half of the booths before I saw this
Which I had to buy immediately. It's Alpaca silk.
It's considerably harder to spin than any wool I've used before, but, I'm getting it.
I did not even look at the wheels because I know they're not in my price range. I want one. A lot. I figure the only way I'm going to get one is if I find a used one somehow.
I've been collecting various undyed yarn, soon to appear (dyed) in my store, but I didn't have anything organic until now.
Stay tuned!
Caitie has been asking for a rabbit since last year's fiber festival. She got books from the library, researched it a lot. I've said for years that I would let her get a pet when she turned 10. Which it so happens, she will be doing tomorrow. Dang, how did that happen so fast?
Gorgeous fiber!
ReplyDeleteThat bunny must be so pettable! (How exactly do you harvest angora? Any chance you'll have angora yarn projects at some point?) I just want to snuggle her!
Happy Birthday to Caitie!
that is a darling bunny! sweet!

I so want to bunny-sit for you next time you leave town...but your bunny might come back bald.
