So I took a road trip to Mount Holly’s famous Woolbearers shop. It took me a good hour. A lovely drive, since I was all alone yesterday. I spent a good 2 hours in the shop just fondling all the gorgeous fibers, yarns, and whatnot. I decided to buy myself some bamboo size 8 Fiddlesticks double pointed needles. I also got this:
THIS gorgeous fluffball is Romney with bits of Mohair. It had just been carded into a batt. I like to have died when I saw it and I just HAD to have it. It was cheap, too.
This is one of the 2 -ounce sized bags of Rayon I got. It’s so soft I nearly fell out of my chair when I touched it. This should be fun ot figure out. It has a short staple length, which is new for me.
So that is what I did yesterday. FUN FUN FUN!!!

Gorgeous stuff, I am sooooo jealous you got to go play up there. Hey, anytime you want Romney I am chest deep in glorious fiber. I have a little bit of white roving left and tons of fleece.
Hope to take a fleece or two to Maryland Sheep and Wool festival to get processed.
Cool stuff you got. What’cha gonna make?
Hugs, M
