Yesterday was the St. Distaff's Day spin-in hosted by the
NwRSA. They had many
vendors and I spent all my cash on fiber, raffle tickets, and a
Fricke flick carder.
I bought 1 lb of Blue Face
Leicester top, 4 oz of mohair, 3 oz of silk, and 4 oz of hemp. I had never seen hemp for sale so I took the
opportunity to get some. I
promptly came home and blended some of the silk with
Tarhgee that I had dyed gun metal blue. It added so much shine that it looked synthetic! I met
Jo Fricke and liked her flick carder so much that I bought one even though I already own an
Ashford flick carder. I didn't know the
Fricke's live here in Washington, but they do. They are up in Granite Falls.
I finished another skein of my dyed roving.
