About a month back I received my first package as part of The Fibre Share. I believe I had as much fun putting together my Vermont-ish package of Icelandic fiber locks and shetland roving for my Australian fiber lover as I did receiving my batch of beautifully hand mixed merino and shimmery white rolags from my friend in England. She also sent me chocolates, a model of The Big Ben, a sizable bag of bamboo, and drum roll please…. a bag of her neighbors dog hair!!!! That, I am very, very curious about.
Miles has recently caught the spinning bug and received a new, more balanced drop spindle for christmas this year. This is a little glimpse of him testing out the old CD spinner… Nothing makes a crafty mama’s heart glow like a little boy dreaming of what to do with his hand spun!
Wow – I’ve never even thought to try dog hair – though there was a lady in the paper a few years back who’s knitted herself a jumper out of her dog’s hair – I always hoped she never got caught in the rain!!
