Fiber Addict

It's true... I've become a total fiber addict. I honestly don't know what to do with myself! I recently did a trade with Liz of hobbledehoy and got these yummiful wonderful fibery batts! I couldn't stop squooshing my face in them! But spinning them on my wheel was just as exhilirating...

I love spinning. It has become my main source of coping with the chaotic life of being a doctoral student. The soft clicks the wheel makes, watching the colorway come to life, the smell of fibery love, and the fuzziness under my fingers... it's a full sensory experience! Now that I have a wheel and I'm able to spin things up so quickly, I'm coveting a drum carder. I'm feeling quite limited in what I can spin up since I can't really mix things up like I'd love to do. So, that's the next thing I'm saving up for. Buy from my etsy store so I can get one faster!!!!! LOL

In addition, I've become bored with household dying. It's time to venture into professional dyes, but I can't find a suitable pot :( If anyone has any suggestions, please do send them my way.

I also just purchased 16 oz of EcoSpun yarn on ebay today. I'm sooo excited to get my fiber made from plastic bottles! How fun!

Please take my survey on the right! And join my mailing list if you're so inclined!

Until next time,
Peace, love, and *sparkles*

You sound so much like my daughter (ahimsafibers.etsy.com)! She just got her drum carder and is loving it! I just wanted to tell you that I started reading your blog and looking at your shop to learn how to "do it" on Etsy before I opened my shop. I love your passion!
