I found myself in the scary position of almost being out of fiber!! A quick order to my friendly EtsyShopOwner (Stephanie of LunabudKnits) remedied this! The order of dyed Targhee fleece even included a few perks (wool soak and some firestar bits to add to my batts)!
[Talk about superior customer service, I should send a letter to the fireplace guy!!! Seriously.]
I had to try some last night so I carded up a bit of fiber from the pink/blue bag and then a handful of the darker colors .
Bling will sit on my lap while I spin, he doesn't mind the lap-rocking motions and it was a perfect end to the day!
This is going to be a skein of yarn very soon. The fiber is soft and spins very easily, I can spin with a long backward draft, very differently from the Suffolk I have been spinning. The 'little tangle' is just backspin that the cats added-they know better than to stick their paws in while the wheel is spinning, but it is fair game when I go and get more fiber!
We stopped in Sam's while in town and brought home this box; the cats know what to do with this treasure!
They vie for the best position, and then attack. Bling usually wins.
I checked out Lunabird's Etsy site. Temptation everywhere. That's going into my bookmarks..........
ReplyDeleteIn the third picture of this post, the wool looks like cotton candy!
ReplyDeleteCats and kids...boxes are always a hit and they're cheap, too!
And I thought they were so friendly - that first photo looks like they are!
