fibre and fun filled days

hand painted merino from a giveaway by  spinning a yarn  last year, finally spun and plied this morning. 

Natty and gnarly, thick and thin yarn, from that in raw fleece from the other day. Anyone teach me about handcarding?

A birthday party for a toy dog named Sally, last year we celebrated her fourth birthday, this year shes 16!
We all love reading!
 As well: dyed some tick and thin spun white yarn, pink, blue and green, and some plain white fleece bright pink and red with a bit of purple, but they are still drying.
Have a nice day.

  1. Such cool things going on there! Love the cake for the toy dog, you're such a good Mama. When you in town next? I will be at Potters Patch Fri, Sat and Mon morn. Will take Jessicah's fibre in case you pop in. X

  3. Love the yarn. I'm glad only toys can jump that many years so quickly.
