unboxing Saxony merino

 I spotted an advert on a friends Facebook page, she was destashing some Saxony merino. half a fleece and a few oddments totalling around 1.5 k

Now I know that I'm on a fibre diet and really shouldn't be adding to the stack of fleece to be washed but I couldn't resist the chance to play with this and I also justified it by needing fine fibres to spin on the Nano.

The parcel has arrived, nice and squidgy


Did I mention that Sarah is a fibre artist? some of the fibres had been washed, and some had been dyed beautiful colours.


Some of the locks had been sorted ready for washing and the rest of the fleece is intact.




Plenty for me to play with over winter if not before.

What beautiful locks!
Spinning is my therapy so after last night's disastrous election results I need to go look in the stash for something pretty to concentrate on. I haven't slept a wink. I just sat outside all night by my little stove and kept a fire burning while pondering the universe.
