Some spinning friends and I went together on an order of fiber from Sheep Shed Studio (so we could save on shipping). Remember the fiber-y goodness from last time?
I thought the box was stuffed full for that first order… well, that was nothing like this time.
This picture really doesn’t show just how round this box was. I actually snorted when I saw it.
16 lbs of fiber crammed into a pretty small box! It just popped right out at me when I cut the tape.
This is my share of the Superwash wool. I spun a little sample that Carol sent last time and just loved it. With this roving, I am going to try a little dyeing myself. I just want pretty deep colors for making socks. There are so many patterns that I want to make that need a solid or semi-solid yarn (and I very rarely see the colors I have in mind in yarn shops).
In case you can’t see how soft this roving looks, here’s a close-up:
Tracy and Emily both ordered this black-mix wool. I think it will spin into such a nice yarn (now I am really regretting not ordering any – I think I always feel that way).
We all ordered the white roving. The selection that Carol sent all looks like this. A little predrafting (I wouldn’t even go that far, just a slight stretch seems to do the trick) and soft, soft, fluffy whiteness to spin. It, too, is very soft. I can’t even explain how excited I am to have 5 lbs of this! I’ll be busy for a long while.
Just so you can get an idea of how much fiber was in that little box – here it is all sitting behind my couch. It looks icky because it is in plastic bags (had to divvy it up so I could start playing with my parts). This is so much wool, I am a little giddy. I’m sure Tracy and Emily will love this!
