Paul has been busy in his workshop lately.  Let me rephrase that because Paul is ALWAYS busy in his workshop!  But these last couple of weeks, I have been the beneficiary of his creations!

I love to spin but rarely do I buy prepared fiber.  IÂ’ve gotten great deals on raw fleece that I wash, hand pick, card and spin.  Last year I was given directions on how to make a picker.  (A medieval contraptions that separates and fluffs up the fiber before it is carded.)  It has been sitting in PaulÂ’s “Round To-It” file.  Last week he finished it!! It works wonderfully!

I have an old llama fleece that I started picking/carding/spinning a couple years ago.  I even have one mitten for Paul made from it.  The fleece is old and felted and very time consuming to prepare to spin.  Within an hour, I have enough fleece picked that I should be able to complete the other mitten and perhaps a scarf for Paul.

I this wasnÂ’t enough, when Paul found the instructions for the picker, he also found instructions on how to make a triangle loom.  Yes, you guessed it!!  I have been weaving the last couple nights on my new loom!

I am very blessed to be his Helpmate.
