Karen, Welcome to the wonderful world of fiber addiction! Grace has the most beautiful fibers! I have a lot of fiber from her and it is all just incredible! Happy spinning!

I am so glad you like them - I can not wait till you get to spin them and please tell what you think of them. I have been a busy bee on the carding machine creating new goodies to tempt folks with - Oh, I even made up a couple just for me....

Enjoy and many thanks

Way to go girl, the new green yarn is lovely. I told you about this fiber addiction and now you know Grace is an enabler...next thing will be sheep, goats, llamas..bunnies???? Just keep spinning and maybe the worry of having this new addiction will go away...NOT!

His name is midnight and his father was a purebred angora, black, and mom was a brown nigerian. He came from triplets, himself and his 2 sisters that were black and white. I hope to get a black and white one next year after breeding him.

Wish me luck, I'm packed up to go to the downtown festival and spin.
I have all of grace's beautiful fibers, some local ones and business cards for local yarn,fiber and spinning wheel shops.
also I got some flyers for the Babe Spinning wheels from the inventor!
I'm excited to go, and a little scared, but should be fun.
I'll report back on how things went.

Wow, I had fun, got a second shower and sunburn, but fun too!
Met a lot of people and talked about the Babe spinning wheel.
I sure would do it again!
Grace, I met someone from your neck of the woods...Julie Tompkins from Colorado Springs,Co. She noticed your fiber I had out and we struck up a conversion. She told me about her Alpacas, I may buy a fleece from her to play with some dyeing.
Talk about a small world huh.
I better unload the Jeep and put stuff away, I'm beat, and spun longer today that I have ever before.
I'm pooped, but happy I went.
Karen

I am so happy for your Karen - I knew you would have a great day. Yes, I do remember the name - I have sold all my alpaca's but still get their fleeces so I do not do the show circuit anymore. Hope you enjoyed spinning the fibers you purchased from me and I would love to see how they turned out if you have a chance.

Again, I am so happy for you and the day you had...

Hi Karen, sounds like you had a great time. I had hoped to make it down there, but I am dealing with spider bite,and was not hobbling around to well. Sounds like you got lots of practice time!!
