STUDIO CLEAN OUT

I have started the studio clean out...I feel bad that I have held onto all the fiber that I have and my work area is cluttered...I hate to work in cluttered areas but part of me hangs on to each fleece...I run my hands through it, I cherish it...this fiber came from an animal that is a pet that I love with their own unique personality.  They aren't just animals to me.  They each interact with me differently.  I watch over them and protect them.  I enjoy running my hands through their growing coats and dream of what color I will dye it, and what I will make with it.  Will I weave it into a fantastic scarf or will I knit a sweater with it??  I don't want to be a fiber hoarder, I just love my flock. (Are you buying this?  I dream of having beautiful fiber to spin, yarn to knit and weave...heck, I guess you could say my dreams are bigger than my studio.  I don't even mind the small amount of vm because I know my animals get to live a good natural life. I often sit in my chair of an evening with a small trash can and a towel covering my lap and pick any small pieces of hay or short cuts from a fleece that I am getting ready to spin.  I pull out the locks and straighten them and line them up in a basket cherishing each touch of the soft warm fiber and I will be ready to comb them or card them.  I love to handle my wool!    I HAVE MILLIONS OF DYE COMBINATIONS THAT I WANT TO TRY!)
As I worked upstairs and dragged out yet another fleece, I ran my fingers into each labeled basket and sack of wool.  Each sheep has its own unique coat.  My mind is telling me to make some decisions but my fingers keep screaming at me...SPIN IT, WEAVE IT AND MAKE A PAIR OF SOCKS OR A SCARF OR A SWEATER!  So this is what I have together right now that I will sell.  If you see something and have questions please  email me
