my new best friend
I just got back from The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and- wow. I went last year as a newly born fiber artist and had a great time, but it was so interesting to go back as a weaver with an agenda. It was utterly overhwleming, but less so when I reminded myself that I don’t need hoardes of knitting yarns or gigantic bags of roving. With great focus and incredible amounts of self control, I managed to narrow down my wishlist to things that will be useful to me in the immediate future for practical and experimental purposes.
lovely purchases, including the ugliest shuttle ever made
I decided I’m going to get into some serious spinning and felting this summer; I got some nice merino and some silk (!) to spin, plus some yarn for weaving and that great plastic shuttle (it was the cheapest one, seriously). I can’t wait for this semester to end so I can start brainstorming.
I hope you are going to wind some of that purple yarn onto the bobbin – it will look fantastic with the yellow shuttle!
