Well Folks, we’ve finally made it! Thanks for following along with me as I spoke-out-loud about the products and gadgets that have caught my eye this season… I hope that Santa Claus has been listening (I’ve been a GOOD GIRL goshdarnnit!) and that maybe a book or a skein or something finds a way into my stocking this year.
My Last Favorite thing of the series is more of a photo collage… with the goal of maximizing fiber content :)
Handpainted / Hand dyed / Hand Carded – Spinning Fibers!
I know some people have specific likes and dislikes when it comes to wool and fibers for spinning… I must say, at this point I really haven’t met a fiber that I didn’t like. I like them fine and soft, and coarser and woolier. I like silk and alpaca and tencel and seacelll. I like combed top and I like carded rolags. I like silk caps and raw fleece. I like handpainted wild colors and semi-solids. I like Batts – from plain blended to wild and stipey. I love fiber… and I love spinning. Here are some of the nicest fibers I’ve seen around lately, from a bunch of well known suppliers. Enjoy!
