Learning to spin yarn has not been an easy pursuit for me. But after several classes and a good bit of practice, I’m starting to see some progress. It has helped me to use colorful fiber that I liked working with. The natural browns and off-whites looked so much like kitty hairballs that it was discouraging.

With gorgeous, bright colors it’s hard to not love the outcome – even if it is a bit over twisted.

My workload on the farm has increased heavily recently so I am having to cut back on some of my “responsibilities”.  After about a year of running the Fiber Arts Friday Blog Carnival here on the Alpaca Farmgirl Blog, I am sad to say that I will not be hosting it anymore. That’s the bad news. But the GOOD news is that it is just moving….

…to Wonder Why Gal (Andrea’s) Wisdom Begins In Wonder Blog beginning next Friday.

I would still LOVE to see what you are doing with Fiber Arts. Please feel free to send me anything you’d like to share and I will blog about it. I’m always up for good ideas for fiber! There will still be Fiber-y posts here each Friday, but the Mr. Linky will be moving.

So next week link your fiber blog posts to the Fiber Arts Friday Blog Carnival at Wisdom Begins In Wonder. Your hostess there, Andrea, raises suri alpacas. Her passion for alpacas and fiber is contagious. I believe she is the perfect person to carry the torch for Fiber Art Fridays!
