Look who's keeping me company

The poodle is Vivi, next is Bubba and in the back is Jake. They keep me company most of the time. Sometimes they're troublesome but we get through it. The picture is courtesy of my granddaughter. Occaisionally she shows up here, she's my helper around the farm.

Oohh La la!! See what was in my mailbox!

I can hardly wait to play with this yummy fiber! It's such soft merino and a merino tencel blend I may see if I like it blended into batts with some of my alpaca or just spun up then plied with some alpaca. The possibilities are almost endless.

It's Fiber Swap Time!!

Here's a peek at the wool that I'm carding up for my first swap partner. On some of it I dyed the locks while I was scouring it, and some is left natural. There's a little Corriedale, some Cormo, and some of our Alpaca and our Shetland. Just a pinch of this and a handful of that... from the bags of goodies in the studio.

With a little teasing and flicking I start feeding the carder.

After the first round of carding I decided to layer it and blend it one more time.

I sure do hope she likes these!

I'm pestering the mail carrier these days looking forward to my package too.
