Oh guys, I have so much to share with you! The spring shear is happening with a vengeance, and I’ve been running around the province, picking up fleeces for you guys. Not only that, but I’ve been washing fleece like crazy! I will be broadening my selection of not only raw fleeces for you this year, but washed unprepped fibre…
I’ve had an idea bubbling in my head for a while. The past year and a half I’ve really felt like I’ve come into my own with spinning; instead of spinning whatever, however I’ve begun to really put a lot of thought into the yarn I want at the end of the spin, and specifically, what I want that yarn…
Many, many years ago I had attempted to spin llama. I was a pretty new spinner at the time, and in all honesty, at the time with my lack of experience, I found the fibre difficult to handle. And course. Very, very course. Now, looking back on it, I realize the prep (I had bought it from a commercial source)…
You may have noticed the shop is beginning to look just a wee bit bare. I’ve completely run out of some fleeces, and am running extremely low on others. Never fear, it’s just the seasonal nature of local wool. Shearing dates are coming, and in fact I’ve already acquired the first few fleeces of the year, and I’m really excited…
