Well - this month I was able again to be a part of the Harveyville Project Yarn School.  Twice a year Nicole asks me to bring my English Angora Rabbits and talk about them and our Angora Goats.  I get to show off my beautiful fiber friends and their fiber and sell some the fiber I have available.  I always love going and feeling immersed in the fiber and spinning atmosphere.  Nicole invites fiber lovers from across the country to come spend a weekend in rural Kansas at a re-purposed school building in Harveyville learning how to handspin, dye, card, blend, wash, and experience various kinds of natural fibers. The gymnasium is full of spinning wheels and fiber lovers hand spinning beautiful yarns. She has placed beds in the class rooms and uses the school lab as place to teach how to dye fiber.  There is brightly colored beautiful roving hung to dry over line strung in various places around the building. Part of the really wonderful weekend is the food prepared by her partner, a professional chef.  Thank you Nicole for making this wonderful experience available and including me in!!   See www.harveyvilleproject.com

Well, I have this Idea (lightbulb above head).  I have ALLLLL this fiber! Just sitting around!   Now it has a new name --- It's cawaalled INVENTORY!  It keeps growing! Our goats and rabbits keep producing - they can't help it!  I have kept it for myself all this time. (Selfish!!) I have loved working with it, spinning it, dying it. I make knit items - hats, scarves, fingerless gloves, sweaters.  I make rugs with the roving. I have learned crochet!! 

Now it's time for others to love it! I open the door for YOU. Come in and enjoy my beautiful home-grown fiber. Get to know my animal-friend fiber producers. They all have names and special unique coats. And right now I'm so excited. One little black English Angora doe has 6 bunnies in the nest box. I get to see my new bunnies every day!  They are so so cute. Nothing more adorable than a little English Angora bunny!  And we purchased a new Angora buck goat so we'll have little Angora goat kids in the spring - early April I'm thinking. Now I'm starting this new fiber club so I'll be doing something I love and sharing it with others. Memberships will be limited so please join now as charter members to the Mohair and Angora Wool fiber Club.
