I've been spinning my other dyed tops and knitting warm shawl/scarf type objects, but I did buy some undyed Targhee too and I do have alpaca in stash somewhere. Maybe I'll get the drum carder out.

I thoroughly enjoyed spinning the blend of Targhee and alpaca and then knitting it into a shawl.

I do sometimes think to myself, I would rather spend 10 minutes in an enclosed room with someone smoking, than 10 minutes in am enclosed room with a car engine running. Don't suppose we will see cars banned from going within 10m of awnings, bus stops or restaurants. The Targhee is lovely to knit, you don't often see such a good red from an indie dyer.Fran Rushworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742656242582509967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-20548903240638153412017-04-05T08:59:00.341+01:002017-04-05T08:59:00.341+01:00Here in New South Wales, Australia, the only place...Here in New South Wales, Australia, the only place it's ok to smoke when at the shops is standing on the very edge of the concrete gutter and at least 10m away from awnings, bus stops, restaurants and beaches! I'm on patches but i think i need the gum as well! Nice to see pics of your trip the red yarn is gorgeous.Meremary Q Contraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06260292964550440315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-71053216417156555282017-04-05T00:57:26.342+01:002017-04-05T00:57:26.342+01:00That does look like a great fibre event and my fri...That does look like a great fibre event and my friend BG has a definite taste for Jack Daniels. Not very likely I shall travel so far again, but who knows, life is long and full of unexpected turns. I do appreciate the suggestion and am glad you like Wales :)Fran Rushworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742656242582509967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-36465093193064108982017-04-04T19:21:50.644+01:002017-04-04T19:21:50.644+01:00Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair

I love Great Britain and especially Wales, but I am an American with a french Mom, who lives in the Southeast of the US. Think Jack Daniel's whiskey (Tennessee). :-) Maybe you can visit SAFF in North Carolina sometime. Usually end of October.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03360333733633267089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-68289686470257238692017-04-02T09:03:25.850+01:002017-04-02T09:03:25.850+01:00It was a revelation.It was a revelation.Fran Rushworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742656242582509967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975233729836030720.post-44365818430135956872017-04-01T21:17:19.956+01:002017-04-01T21:17:19.956+01:00A visit to make you think..of many thingsA visit to make you think..of many thingsgzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.com
