Oh the many reasons…here’s a start:

1. fiber from Silkworker. Look at her silk tops! OMG. I’ve purchased a silk/wool combo from her in the past. Now I want to try 100% silk

2. I can spin yummy wools. I have 6lbs or so of cvm/finn/rambouillet roving to spin up

3. I can design my own yarn

4. Silk and cashmere are more affordable, and same with alpaca

5. and so on…

Here’s some cool blogs and stores I’ve come across lately:

the Intrepid Fiberwizard

Crown Mountain Farms Fiber - these guys sell superwash merino roving in cool handdyed colorways

That Spinning Place

Crazy Fiber Lady
