And here it is! This may seem like a lot but believe me I was quite restrained compared to last year! The combs will be used shortly as soon as I start washing the cormo fleece! And then spin, spin, spin!
I’ve been dreaming of Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival for months! Then it came and now it’s gone. Things were quite hectic leading up to last Saturday’s event and still are, but man I had so much fun! The ladies were a hoot and great partners in this yearly adventure. Our troop ran into Dani, Holly, Jasmine, Shanti, Kel, and so many others!
Now before you get too excited I don’t have pics. Yes, I suck. I do, however, have a list of my purchases and pics of those will come soon. In the meantime, just dream and wander over to the ladies blogs and laugh at the sillyness. Ooohhh I forgot to mention that I met Alice Field! Alice is the shepherdess behind Foxhill Farm, and the award winning Cormo fleeces. She won last year’s Grand Champion prize and I’m pretty sure she won this year again!
- 5 skeins of worsted weight Foxhill Farm’s Cormo cross from the American Cormo Association booth in brown
- 3 1/2 lbs of yummy Cormo fleece (Foxhill Farm) from the American Cormo Association booth
- 1 lonely STR skein from The Fold (thank you Holly, you rock!), Lagoon
- 4 ounces of Llama roving from Briar Patch Llamas
- 1 lb of Spinner’s Hill wool/silk batt in lovely blues/teals
- 3 ounces of wool/mohair roving in blues (can’t remember vendor’s name but I’ll find it) from Pucker Brush Farm
- A pair of Viking double row wool combs from Indigo Hound
- 1 bar of soap from Leslie’s Garden
And I think that’s it. I think. Next time I must focus on books! and more equipment like a Woolee Winder, handcards and a diz.
What did you get?
