Hectic Heaven

a fiber weekend

I have spent alot of the last couple days working with fiber.. spinning,plying felting....

I made my daughter a pair of felted slippers... cant wait for them to dry enough for her to wear them, they are a bit rustic looking but wow are they ever soft.. I mixed a bit of alpaca in with the wool...I want to do a bit of needle felting on them as well..   I spent some time spinning some alpaca that I bought to go with the quiviut I spun this summer.   It is turning out the be the softest yarn... I will make a scarf out of it I think...  I ordered some more wool and I am waiting not so patiently for the mailman to get here... I am hoping it comes today , but that weather has been a bit nasty so its possible it will not get here...

We had about 3 inches of snow yesterday and last night... we are supposed to have possibly 2-4 more tonight... might have a snow day tomorrow.. just think of what I could do it I had my fiber  lol...  I guess I ought to get the plying done... have a great and safe day..
