Welcome back Fiber Arts Friday fans!
Ok, I must admit that I have not being getting much done fiber arts wise this week. The reason, we have a new baby!
I present to you DHA Reno’s Southern Belle
The only fiber stuff I’ve done this week was 1) buying new alpacas and 2) dying some alpaca yarn for a customer. I”ll have 3 new Accoyo Huacayas joining our herd in a few weeks. Yeah! My herd is growing, hello more fiber!
As for the dying, here she is cooking away in the crockpot. I’m not sure why it looks bloody in the photo but the end yarn is a dark cranberry. It’s currently hanging in the basement drying by our coal stove. The yarn’s new owner has just gotten into knitting and blogging and with any good luck she’ll join in on the fun.
This just in at 5:30am! The yarn is already dry! Isn’t it pretty? Yarn is off of 2 of our alpaca girls Bella and Vanilla and is OH so soft.
I will not be participating in next week’s FAF as I will be off taking a searing seminar. The farm will be in the trusted hands of the hubba and both our mom’s. Hope everyone stays in their pastures and doesn’t cause them any troubles!
Don’t worry Fiber Market Monday’s will still be on so come join in the fun and highlight some of your handmade goodies that are for sale!
