Fiber Arts Friday

It’s Fiber Arts Friday and to honest I really haven’t had the time to do much fibery stuff as of late.  I’ve been caring for a very sick puppy, a very pregnant horse, and attempting to keep the alpacas clean and relatively mud free now that spring has decided to show up.

Speaking of keeping fiber clean I have been doing some work with all the fiber I washed a few weeks back.  I’ve slowly been hand carding it into semi-worsted rollags in prep to spin it into strands for more mecate.  I can see myself wanting a electric drum carder and a spinning wheel really soon to make these steps go faster.  Good timing on Wonder Why Gal’s post on drum carders for FAF.

Last week I did make 2 new mecates and a dog leash I can share with you.  I guess that’s all for now, hopefully I’ll have something a little more exciting next week.
