New Yarn - FINALLY!

Image
I am Finally spinning again - It's been WAAAAAAAY too long so now I"m in a serious creative phase again - there is not enough time in the day. This is 350 (or more really!) yards of 2ply yarn from Silver CVM and Silk dyed in emerald green/Violet and Turqoise. It is for sale but if someone doesn't snap this up I may have to use it in a weaving project it is so pretty. $35.00 +Shipping.

Fiber Farm Tour

Forgot my camara but I had memorable day at the Fiber Farm tour in Edgewood/East Mountain area. Judy Tucker and Lora Kniffin at Prairie Wood Ranch invited me out to be a part of the tour and sell my goat milk soaps and yarn/ finished projects. Sounds like it was a success ALL the way around. It was so fun meeting so many Fiber folks, talking to people about their critters and demonstrating spinning. Also had the chance to help Lora sell one of her goats who I KNOW got a new GREAT home with Laughing Orca Ranch (see link on my Cornerstonenigerians blog). Lisa took home a beautiful blue eyed Mini Mancha who I think will be a real asset to her farm. Can't wait until Lisa is up to her elbows in milk and cheese! Next year I'll remember my camara and take pics of the fiber and all the kids enjoying the baby goats including Judy's new Angora Caleb. So EXCITING!!!!

Crankin' out the projects.

I finished this yarn not too long ago, I had bought some gorgeous handpainted BFL roving last year at Taos wool festival (actually, Espanola is where I got this, on the way home from Taos) and about 3 years ago traded some work for some fiber (Merino/Ramboulliet cross) with a friend of mine and this is what came of it - nearly 550 yards of sportweight yarn. LOVELY and OH SO SOFT this is. And it helped me with making a dent in my stash! I have this goal to use what is in the stash without buying more unless a project truly warranted the buy! I was given some absolutely stunning baby Mohair that was handpainted in greens, golds, browns, blues and this also used some handdyed Cormo that was in the stash...result was 244 yds of lovely sportweight yarn... My little one wanted to learn to needle felt so I picked what I thought was an easy project - a pumpkin! Well, I finished mine, she lost interest after poking herself too many times and breaking 2 needles. But it was fun to needle felt...
