Carding, carding, carding

I have been hand carding mohair in preparation of dyeing it for a wonderful yarn I hope to spin. Maureen Pritchard, The Barefoot Spinner, loaned me a pair of carders at the end of her wonderful spinning class held at Millicent's (yarn shop) on the Downtown Cumberland Mall.

I have a long way to get all this fiber carded. And I still have wool to wash and pick thanks to Carol Manger at Briarwood Farms. I yearn for a spinning wheel of my own. All in due time.

Trying to find time to satisfy my curiousity of it all amongst the soapmaking, the 4-H meetings, work, getting ready to kid, and starting seeds for the garden.

Life is busy, but I am blessed.
