Falkland "Rain Forest"

I ordered six more months of Fiber Club from Happy Fuzzy Yarn.  I was feeling a bit down and really wanted to treat myself.  And then when I got home from work there on my kitchen counter was a familiar package from the Riin of the Happy Fuzzy Yarn.  I had my third installment of my yarn club.  It's called "Rain Forest" and it's a Falkland fiber.  

I think the fiber colors are much richer in person.  Check back with my blog Fiberista, I'll have Rain Forest spun up in no time. 

Rug By The Fire Single

 

There were plenty of "chic" movies on TV and a very cold weekend for perfect for staying in a spinning the weekend away.  This is my single "Rug By the Fire" the fiber from Happy Fuzzy Yarn.  I've mentioned in previous posts how much I enjoy receiving 4 oz. of fiber each month in my mailbox.  This was the second installment of my three-month club that I was gifted as a Christmas gift from my step-dad.  Because I never have to deal with any bumps or vegetable matter in the fiber is it a joy to spin. The colors truly do remind of me of the blue, green, and gray flames to a fire.

Woolly Business...

Hobby Farm magazine offers a variety of topics.  At the check-out of our local Rural King (a farm and gardening supply store), I purchased this magazine "Sheep."  The sub-title caught my attention "Start Your Sheep Business."  Sheep milk cheese?  How-to make it is in there too!  Reading the history of how sheep were taken hundreds of years ago to different parts of the world and how they even today are still breeding sheep for fiber is interesting (I did not enjoy history in school at all).  Sheep history is good!  I'm enjoying the beautiful photography and lots of woolly talk!
