Fiber Arts Friday: Alpaca Rug Yarn

Hello Fiber Arts Friday Fans.

This week will be a quick one.  Usually I write up my posts days in advance but I’m late this week and scrambling to get one up.

Last weekend my mom, hubby and I packed into the car and took a trip down to Autumn Mist Fiber Mill to pick up my recently completed goodies. Last year I had sold my entire raw prime fleeces which left me with 3 years 3rds and some 2nds to play with.  I decided on having it made into rug yarn which is thick spun roving looking material spun around a cotton core. 

I’ve been waiting for this yarn for some time now to use on my homemade pegloom.  Even though we didn’t get back from our trip until 7pm that didn’t stop me from warping up the loom and start weaving. 

Just 1 hour after I started I had this beautiful rug! 

 

Shameless Plug:  I am going to start Fiber Market Monday’s back up next week.  You’re welcome to post about fiber projects your making that will be for sale or highlight a fiber animal that is for sale/stud or maybe their fleece is for sale.  Free advertising is always a good thing 🙂

Lastly I’m going to change how I share the link parties I participate in.  Instead of spamming you with all the buttons that I usually put here I’m on a collecting mission and will be organizing them all here.  Right now it is a work in progress but I have plenty of link parties to fillin all those blanks.   Still want your site on the front page? I offer very affordable advertising rates for everthing on the right hand column.
