A cold snap blew in yesterday bringing a little rain to settle the dust. I have been finishing off some spinning to sell. Merino needs to be spun finer than most other wools as it really fluffs out when plied (a bit like angora). I still have nearly a whole fleece left to work with but have gone back onto core spinning for The Shearing Shed. At the moment I am picking through the white angora, getting rid of second cuts from shearing and fluffing up the fibre ready for spinning. I missed working for them so am happy that business is doing so well Heather was able to take me back on.
Got a little advertisement placed in the Creative Fibre magazine Friday and the hits on my website have been phenomenal. The problem is that angora is a specialist fibre and at the moment alpaca is "in" and bunny hair "out".
