You say "Fiber Whore" like it's a bad thing!
It's been a bit sonce my last post. I've been busy working, spinning, and knitting. Not to mention I had a birthday last week! My aunt bought me a set of hand carders for fiber preperation, and I've been carding the bamboo fiber from eBay, a small bag of wool one of my LJ friends sent, and the alpaca fiber I bought.
These are my Ashford hand carders. I can't believe my aunt Paula bought these on top of a new pair of jeans and a shirt.
Remember this bamboo?
I learned how to card it into punis.
It's slow spinning, but the plan is to Navejo ply the singles and then creat a cabled yarn, by plying those two strands together. Then, I'll dye the yarn, and it's going to be knit into a purse. Here's what I have so far.
I also bought 3 pounds of alpaca on ebay to spin and knit.
