The Spinning Guy

In this blog, I'm going to talk about alpacas, fiber, spinning, and I'm going to generally try very hard to keep my readers posted about what's on my skirting board, what's on my spinning wheel, and what I'm knitting or crocheting.

The Secret is Out -- It's an on-line store

The secret is out. We have an on-line store. You can visit my store by clicking on the Alpaca Merchant link on the sidebar.

Our on-line store will feature mostly 100% alpaca in natural colors and blends of natural colors. Like most fiber people, I like to play with color and try new things, so we will occasionally stock dyed fiber and blends of alpaca with other fibers.

Right now, we have handspun yarn and various miscellany in the store. We will be adding roving (technically carded batts), raw alpaca fiber, crocheted items, and other goodies to the store over the next few weeks.

Progress on projects:
The fence: No progress because we discovered we had to drain part of the pasture so now I'm busy digging trenches …
On the spinning wheel: Pinero, but I've made progress. I have finished another bobbin of 2-ply and it's half onto the niddy-noddy. I have just over four ounces of carded fiber left, so the end is in sight.
On the knitting needles: What knitting needles? Oh, wait, now I remember. There is a practice piece somewhere under a stack of fiber.
