Bundle of Yarn at SAFF
SAFF (Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair) is the first fiber fair I have ever attended. My reaction?
WOW! I didn’t know there was that much yarn…
(I took these pictures with my phone so please forgive the quality. Hoping to bring my real camera tomorrow.)
view from the "stands" - which is a great place to eat banana pudding btw
Shiny fiber at SAFF
Cute alpaca needlefelting ornaments at Frostglen's booth
I tried hard to meet up with some Twitter buds today. In fact I managed to accost a nice red haired lady with glasses and the right aged baby – mistaking her for @PixiePurls. Yes, I was mortified. Fortunately she (and her friend to whom baby belonged) were very gracious and I made a new Ravelry friend. One who likes alpaca fleeces. Good thing fiber lovers are such a nice bunch.
(Fiber growers – I’m not suggesting you accost strangers in order to sell fleeces, but…whatever works.)
This booth was all about felting supplies!
I took an all-day needlefelting class today called “Painting with Wool”. It was super fun, I learned so much, and I’m now exhausted. Blog post on that coming up soon…
Artistic Skeins
For wannabee artsy spinners like me – THESE are fabulous. They spoke to me. They said, “We want to go home with you. We love alpaca, and we will fit in your carry-on luggage quite nicely.” They have ribbons and feathers and all sorts of “crazy” stuff. In love….
Dyed Mohair locks by the ounce
Dyed Merino top
This was my favorite picture of the day. I love colorful fiber! Don’t you? Gorgeous and full of possibilities….
