Re: [AlpacaTalk] What DO you do with your fiber?
Hi Steve,
Well, as I posted previously, I sent off all that I could part with to
the Pendleton Blanket Project. Peter came by while we were shearing
this year so I didn't have this year's clip ready for him... but I'll
go through and decide what portion of this year's clip I can donate as
well.
The rest, I plan to do stuff with! Yes, poor grammar. The super-fine
stuff I'll have processed probably by hand to weave into fabulous one
of a kind pieces. The leg and neck stuff that doesn't make the cut for
the Pendleton project, I'll experiment in my own projects. I am now all
about making felt rugs. I think leg fiber will be great for high
traffic rugs. Neck fleece that may be too short for the Pendleton
project but plenty fine otherwise, I'll see about making into felted
shawls, scarves, throws, slippers, etc. and that super-coarse leg stuff
can also be made into felt slippers. It's just a matter of doing it (as
I sit here typing away)!
How about the rest of you? By the way, if I get any good at my felt
rugs, I'll be buying leg fleece from everyone, soon, for money!
Best!
