Fiber Arts Friday




I didn't get as much done with the free wool as I wanted to-but managed to wash a big handfull, card it, and spin one bobbin full. Its very white after being washed. I was pleasantly surprised. I have a vacation day on Monday so I'm planning a full, all out, wool washing weekend. Can't wait to get it done.


The pics are another of Gracie the sheep, and the bobbin of singles I spun. I checked the web to see if I could find out what breed of sheep she is, the closest I can find is that she looks like a Corriedale. I'll keep you posted on what I get done with all my precious wool!
