Tomorrow's the Day for Worcester's Sheep to Shawl, Llama to Pajama 2010

Think we have nice seasonable weather in store for our Guild's appearance at the SSLP 2010. Betsy, Dottie, and maybe a one or two others will help show how do card, knit, spin and more. Loads of publicity will hopefully have reached curious minds and we'll  see all ages come for a look and hands-on. Will have my camera at the ready to document much of it. Can't wait to observe the llama shearing at 2PM, when Oberon of Orchid Patch in Southbridge MA will get his "haircut" and share his fabulous fleece with observers. Then, Elaine is hosting our next Guild meeting on Sunday. Lots to do!

Batting Time

Maile, Betsy, Dot, and Chris had a grand time in June playing with Chris' new large drum carder. Can you tell?! Since then, the batts have been flying! Chris is so generous with her new toy, and we all appreciate being able to move our raw fleece from fluffy fiber to beautiful batts, ready to spin into glorious and unique yarns. At our last meeting on July 11th, Lisa brought her awe-inspiring picker, and those of us with dense fleece watched the transformation with amazement. In one end went the locks and such, out the other side came the most delicate, airy clouds of spinnable fiber. Thank you to both women for rocking our fiber processing worlds!
