We had a healthy high-fiber experience, a glorious autumn day in the Adirondacks!
Not this kind of fiber, silly!
This kind!
The Southern Adirondacks Fiber Festival took place this weekend and was a gathering of wool-loving, fiber-lusting hands at home.
The focus was on all things wool, for all wool fanatics.
And other wool-bearing animals:
- Llamas
- Angora bunnies
- Cashmere Goats
Dogs that keep the sheep under control:
Shearing, provided by Jim McRae, professional shepherd. He owns the dogs, too!
What do love most about fiber?
Fleece?
Yarn?
To spin it?
- Spinning with a drop spindle
- Spinning on a wheel
Or my favorite spinning technique!
For weavers, knitters, felters, crocheters, rug hookers . . . for us all. So much wool, so much pretty, so very many loving hands!
