Fiber Friday: Yarn School

I finally went to Yarn School in Harveyville, KS, Spring 2011.



Drank lots of wine...

All evidence of wine drinking has been erased or recycled.  Move along now.

Spun a little:


Big Lofty Yarn


Art Yarn


Barber pole and Heathered yarns carder on the drum carder. See next weeks Fiber Friday for more about this.

Carded on the drum carders:


Dyed lots of fiber:



That's 4 pounds of fiber!

Pet Angora Rabbits



Hung out and had lunch at Alapcas in Wildcat Hallow:

and pet the dogs:


Ate lots of super yummy food! Mmm Bacon.

Came home with over 4lbs of fiber and more:



Not visible the alpaca/silk fiber from Alpacas of Wildcat Hollow, dye color card, and a turkish spindles, lots of door prize fibers, and some fiber I bought.  And a cool t-shirt I'll need to model some time.

It took a while to get back into the groove.  Yarn School is part of a unique space and time. So I was a bit wobbly when I came home.  Bliss is fiber, good food, fiber geeks and wine.  I'll be going back again Spring  2013.

Stay tuned for the sweaters and more worth of yarn I spun up from all that fiber.
