I finally have time to share some pics of the wool and spindle from The Woolery, and such...... The spindle and raw wool... First try at spinning... Half of the roving from my second order... A hat I made this morning.... I guess thats it for now.

I posted a want ad for fiber on Craigslist. Didn't hear anything for a week and forgot about it. Then Yesterday evening I got an email from a woman asking me to call her. The email said she has sheep and llama. I called her a bit ago and boy am I glad I did. She has 20 large garbage bags...

Has anyone ever bought from www.wool.com? They are a wholesale supplier and you have to buy a minimum of 10 pounds. I'm wondering if their prices are worth buying that much wool at one time.

I am officially getting two English Angoras. They will be ready February 20th. Both are REW and they are not sexed yet. I really don't care if they are bucks or does. I just want them for their fiber and pets. They come from a line that blows coat which is what I want. Plucked wool is better...

Ok so my son wants to join 4H now and he wants a Tri Color Mini Rex to show. I have an over Sized Harli Mini Rex already. So should I get a broken to breed him with to make a tri? And if so what color broken should I breed him with? He is a blue jap Harli. Or should I just search the...

Ok so my wool came today and it looks way cleaner than I expected. It is Romney wool to be exact. But it is greasy and smelly. Not like billy goat smelly but smelly sheep kind of smelly. So do I wash this stuff before I card or comb it? Then let it dry before I spin it? It really...

My wool and spindle will be here tomorrow. I can't wait. The Woolery is wonderful. They processed my order and shipped it right away yesterday. And the prices were just as good if not better than all the other places I searched online. And talk about selection!!!! I can see how this...

I love to crochet but I have absolutely no idea how to knit. Maybe someday I will actually learn. But for now.............. I bought knitting looms from walmart. They are actually pretty cool. YOu can make all sorts of things with them too. My mom has actual electronic sweater knitting...

It was nice having all the boys here for the Holiday break. Sadly it is time for them to all go back to their lives. The Oldest is heading back to college in the next day or two. The 11 year old is heading back to his moms this afternoon. And we are getting back to work with school in the...

I had the does in floor pens with a bunch of pine shavings. So today I noticed something in on of the cages that the Jerseys were in. I looked closer and it was a dead kit. Now this doe was due clear back Dec 15th. She was in a wire bottom cage then and had no kits. Zero kits, None.... :(...

The woman that bought the Jersey Woolies happens to have long haired sheep that shed 3 to 5 inch hair in the spring. Said it is kinda like wool but sheds. Can't recall the type of sheep but she is going to give me their fiber in the spring as she has never done anything with it. I have no...

A nice woman contacted me tonight and is interested in buying all of the Jersey Woolies I have left available. She is coming tomorrow to see them but it sounds promising. Keeping fingers crossed but you just never know. I have been dealing with a woman on 5 kits for 2 weeks now. :x

Who do you buy your spinning supplies from? Care to share? I am looking at purchasing from http://www.woolery.com They seem to have a good selection of everything and prices are comparable and even better than ebay. Figure I'm gonna buy a spindle and a pound of wool tomorrow. I am thinking of...

I am looking for French Angoras. They do not need to have a pedigree as I want them for pets and their wool. I do not plan to show these rabbits. They must be in Indiana or Central Illinois. I do not have the ability to travel very far right now. (one vehicle and husband works allot).
