From Fuzz to Funky Yarn

The fiber stuff is starting to come together. I have plucked the fiber off bunnies, processed raw sheep fiber and bought different kids of ready to use rovings. I have been practicing my spinning and today I dyed some of my hand spun yarn! Next step is to actually make something out of said yarn- I'm still trying to decide what, but I'll post a picture when it's done.













This is hand carded angora/wool blend ready for spinning. The angora is from Sweetie Pie.



These are my first attempts at dying -pink and turquoise. I learned that a little goes a LONG way! The colors will be good together- but since it's some of my first attempts it is rather...unique in both shading and texture.

  1. You should add an alpaca to your herd in the future. Granted they cost as much as a car, some breeders do offer financing.
    I am excited to see what comes of the colorful bunny yarn!
