Playing in My Studio...At the Spinning C Fiber Mercantile

My Spindle collection

The temperatures have been in the 40s-50s, cloudy but mild with a little breeze blowing and I have been going strong all weekend cleaning, washing wool, choring, cleaning on the yard, cleaning up my hay mess, cleaning house, laundry, and I finally gave myself my a reward...I got to go up to my studio and play this afternoon.  Doesn't that sound good?  The only thing is....I have so much wool that I have washed and planned to get to...but have not and I can't work in a clutter!  I have put back a few fleeces for myself to spin and felt....the spare bedroom is full...my studio has wool on all the shelves, in the closet...IT IS TIME TO CLEAN MY STUDIO!  It will soon be time to shear and I will have 40 more fleeces to deal with.



SOLD
I have this clothes hamper running over with hot pink, iris, and some navy dyed wool probably a couple of pounds.  This is BFL/Shetland.   If anyone is interested...email me...I will sell this dyed wool for $20 plus shipping.


#4 fleece,  I washed this fleece yesterday.  It is a beautiful Corriedale/BFL fleece.  It has some vm.   I will sell it for $30 plus shipping.  It is ready to card and spin or dye.  Really a nice wool!

 The carder is out and ready to blend soy silk in with alpaca and a very soft Spinning C lamb fiber.  I love to blend fibers!  and did I tell you that I love color...muted, bright, pastel, primary, secondary...black and white...all of them!


This is three of the heavier yarn that I had spun.  I am going to make another felted bag from a Noni pattern. 


 White Knight's Fleece for Sale  BFL  SOLD

5-6 inch locks of WK's fleece.

I had this fleece held back for myself.  I have several fleeces in the milkroom of the barn and I need to get it cleaned out and get ready for this Springs clip.  I will sell WK's fleece.  I washed this fleece Saturday.  It does have some yellowed wool in this basket and some vm, it is a beautiful fleece.  It is a nice big fleece.  I have not weighed it yet but would guess it to be over 3 lbs.  I do not like to pay postage on dirt and oil so I washed it in very hot water over 180 degrees with dawn detergent and rinsed. 

WK's wool has a luster.
