Well I haven’t gotten much done since my WIP post. I still need to stage and photograph the rest of my wine koozies that I’ve been making. I’ve also posted a lovely skein of yarn up on my Etsy shop with some wine colors in it. It will only be available until Monday should someone like to purchase it otherwise I’ll be using it to make more koozies.
I was out doing chores last night and the UPS guy came bouncing down our driveway. I met him at the barn and received a rather large box. Usually “M” orders things so I didn’t even bother looking to see if was for me until I got it inside. To my surprise it was addressed to Dutch Hollow Acres from Battenkill Fiber Mill! Yippy, my cria roving is here!
7.2 lbs of luscious cria/tencel pin drafted roving. This is the first time I’ve used Battenkill Fiber Mill after reading about them in the NY Farm Bureau. Looking through their website they were a new high volume fast turn around worsted mill specializing not only in wool but huacaya alpaca as well. Not only that but they have buyers for raw white/beige huacaya fleeces which is great news for me since that is what I breed! Right now my herd is still small and produces just enough for my farm sale needs but as I grow it’s nice to have yet another outlet for raw fiber sales.
Anywho, I have also listed our new 70/30 Cria/Tencel blend roving up for sale in our Etsy Shop as well. As I said I have 7lbs of this lovely stuff so if you want just 2oz or 2lbs let me know.
