Mushroom Blend

I am thinking of spinning the Inglenook Fibers Sticklebatts with Supported Spindles.

It has been quite awhile since I've spun supported. Starting small with an IF Mushroom Blend Sampler, just 3 oz ~ 1/2 oz per color.

 

Death Cap

More Sparkle

The Sticklebatts from Inglenook Fibers arrived earlier this week. It is lovely.

Snowy Owl, "Using a lovely Corrie X fleece from Shepherd's Hey, this smooth batt set is for those who prefer less texture." Non-Sparkle Sticklebatts - Corrie X fleece, Merino, Silk, Camel.

 

 

Carol of the Birds, "Using 2 lovely Corrie X fleece from Shepherd's Hey, this earthy batt set is a party for you spinning wheel!" Non-Sparkle Sticklebatts - Corrie X fleece, Merino, Silk, Tweed blend.

 

  

Blizzard, "Made with the amazing Haunui fleece straight from the flock in NZ, which we washed and picked and carded with yak/mulberry, then blended with more colorful top and silks and sparkle! No added texture." Sparkle Sticklebatts - Haunui fleece, Yak, Merino, Silk, Angelina.

The Organizer

I purchased an Over the Door Organizer to hold the Scarf Ball yarns. So neat and tidy.

 

 

The next thing I know I am emptying out the dresser in the Loom Room and then moving it into the Craft Room (aka Yarn Room).

 

 

Next I turned my attention back to the Loom Room and rearranged the three Ikea Kallax shelving cubes. 

 

 

Very nice, I like it.

 

Doubling Stand

A Guild friend gave me her Doubling Stand. Weavers use it to twist two or three threads together.

 

 

 

 I am using the Doubling Stand to make Scarf Balls.

I tried a little bit of everything, cleaned my plate, and went back for dessert. It was delicious.

More Ornaments

Sending more Wooly Wear Ornaments out into the world this week:

Lynn, a Shepherdess of Santa Cruz Island sheep, was the perfect recipient to win a Sheep and Llama set at our LL group Holiday party. In her Thank You email she wrote, "It's like you made them for me but I don't know how you would have known my name would be drawn". Like I said, "the perfect recipient".

Betty, another Guild friend asked if she could commission me to make ten ornaments. I like her so much I said, "Yes".

First Dibs

Well, I had a fun fiber experience this afternoon. I was one of four lucky winners to receive a Stalk-free Pass for today's Inglenook Fiber Update, which means first dibs on one product listing.

 

 

I knew that I wanted to try out a Sticklebatt, they are "bite-sized morsels of batt for easy spinning". I selected "Blizzard" because Haunui fleece from New Zealand and Angelina sparkle are both new to me.

 

 

 

I checked out and paid for my reserved item.

And then two more Sticklebatt colorways jumped into my shopping cart.

 

 

I know, right?

 

Sans Pie

We have been steadily working our way through a giant Costco Apple Pie (with homemade vanilla ice cream).

 

 

 

 

Tonight we had quiche for dinner and vanilla ice cream for dessert.

 

 

No pie.

 

Potluck Tuesday

The second Tuesday of each month is set aside for Little Looms Group. It's an all-day affair with Spinners' group in the morning and LLG in the afternoon.

In between - at noon - we eat. I brought Focaccia bread and homemade Vanilla ice cream.

The ice cream paired nicely with Pat's Ginger Spice cake. (Sorry, no pic, my hands were full.)
