Fiber Explosion!
Yesterday, Friday, a trip to Putnam, CT to the Fibers4Ewe Mill meant coming home with 5 bags of soft, squishy, luscious processed fiber to spin. It's looked like an explosion when I brought them in the house. lol The picture is outside my door in the drive after I got them out of the car.
The 5 bags are: Cria Alpaca/Merino blend, White Border Leicester/Mohair blend, Black Border Leicester, Polypay, and Merino. The black Romney hoggett and 3/4 of a huge Coopworth fleece are still at the mill, waiting for processing.
After bringing these home, I decided to skip the CT Sheep & Wool Festival today. I don't need anything. Plus, thanks to still not feeling 100% terrific, I didn't really have the incentive to go this year.
I've been knitting on my Vittorio scarf and have a little over 1/3 of it finished.

Yum! Nothing like bags and bags of gorgeous freshly milled fibers!
You went to Putnam and didn't bother to go to CT sheep and wool?!
I wouldn't want to drive back to CT on Saturday either. I can't go to Mass this year because I'll be at a family reunion. That is one of my favorite festivals because its just the right size. They have enough vendors, but it isn't overwhelming.
looks like heaven!!!
