I hope you like them!!

Teaser for slingmomma!! I'll be sending mostly fiber for you to spin, but a bit of handspun will sneak into your box too. But...which ones?!?!



This is what I've spun the last 2 weeks. Thanks to the Tour de Fleece I've been uber productive!    Unfortunately I also now have nowhere to shower until it all dries. 

Mlsocci74, I'm so sorry. *lots of hugs*

author=freestyle link=topic=352380.msg4118618#msg4118618   
That looks so cool!! I have all kinds of fibers in all kinds of colors, if you wanted me to pull small pieces form a bunch and make you a kit. Just let me know!

I would love that!

LL, any types of fibers you wouldn't want? Any specific colors you want, or just a random selection? And it looks like maybe 6" would be the shortest you'd want?

freestyle--i've been experimenting with fleece; it works well as a core but so far i've only figured out how to create the outside with longer, processed fiber...i'd love to take a look, though!

I'll dig it out this weekend and snap a pic for you. I also have some gray Icelandic roving I could part with- I'll take a pic of that too. The rock rugs sound awesome!

i think i'll offer the felted "stones" loose, rather than sewn into a rug, so that the recipient can make it into whatever shape rug they want or just put 'em in a bowl). until last week i'd only seen the round one, but then i saw one in a freeflowing wavy shape and it was beautiful in a very different way.

Want! I could throw them at Jeff.    So I no longer have the mill end fleece (forgot about that spring cleaning I did...), but here's the Icelandic roving. If you think you might be interested, I can drop a sample in the mail.

Dangit, ariaya I am totally coveting all your fiber. What's that? What's that fiber? You want to come live with me? Well, ok... 

Speaking of fiber that came to live with me- here are the rovings I received from Nesse and .:dollface:.!!

From Nesse- Australian Merino


From .:dollface:.- Merino and *ANGORA*


Thank you ladies!! I shall love it and squish it and spin it up good!
