Happy Friday and Fun Mail

   I have been spinning every day this week so far, enjoying the process-especially being back to spinning wool. I grabbed a big bag of white roving that was USA mixed long breeds, at the time (2016) I bought 2 pounds of it. The plan all along was to dye after spinning, now I am thinking of checking how many dried black walnuts I still have and dye this yarn out on the fire pit. Should give me a lovely brown.

  Big surprise in the mailbox today-all three packages arrived in the mail and they came in from all different areas of our country.

  This one is even prettier in person-I really love it Will start spinning this one first.

and came with a surprise  Sorry photo came out a bit blurry but too cute

This pretty darker green came in a long plastic tube

This is the package with the two bags of fibers to blend together on my blending board and make roving to spin-that is always so much fun to do  Such a lovely package-there was actually two different tea bags included-thoughtful as these were herbal with no caffeine.

and photo of the back of package-I love sheep so this sheep tissue paper had me smiling.  This is a high quality ribbon, so it is now in my ribbons stash,

Inside this package  

 I have been away from fiber too long, my first love really.  

    I am also excited that I have found a couple more patterns for the rauna  and maybe a poncho too. Will see how far the yarns go in this project. When I get closer to the weave I will sew up a mock pattern to make sure I like the fit.

  If you remember,  I also have a long warp on the loom waiting for me to weave that I need to get to soon. The room that my loom is in has no heat or a/c vents so this winter it was just too cold to work. I did buy a small heater the winter before, but with the higher price of electric, I decided not to use it.

This morning I dug out my blending board so I can start "playing" with those fibers soon.

   

  Happy Friday and Weekend
