Wool is my crack and my spinning wheel is my pipe. I bought another 11 pounds of ecru wool to dye up this spring. Also, I purchased 3-5 more braids of wool to spin for the shop. This week I was able to purchase the fast flyer for my wheel as well. This way I can spin lace weight yarn. :) That's going to be loads of fun.
Here is a list of what's coming to the house this month:
1. 5 lbs SW BFL Top
2. 5 lbs SW Merino Top
3. 1 lb Merino/Bamboo Top
4. 2 batts and 2 spin-ins from
ArtemisArtemis Etsy 5. 2 Wool/Silk/Angora Batts (Rose)
6. 2 Rambouillet/Silk Batts (Ecru)
7. Fast Flyer
8. Cloudlover March Fiber Club
9. Theurchiness March Fiber Club
10. Another Fiber Club from England
Needless to say, there is a lot coming out this month. #4 is coming from New Zealand. I had to get more Polwarth. #1-3 is from Elite Spun in Canada. #5 and #6 are coming from ebay and were dirt cheap. :) Yay! All of it is going to be amazing.
Most of my tax return is being spent on wool and getting ready for the opening of my shop. LylianMae Fiber Artistry is what it will be called. I have to purchase a couple more ink cartridges, package of card stock and business cards. We picked up an oven roaster for the last bit of dyeing. :D It's so awesome, but I'll need a second table in the garage. :)
