Wondrous spindles and fiber have recently graced our door. A box
arrived recently from Gilbert Gonsolves, maker of the Robin Spinning
Wheels and in it are a batch of new
Lily Spindles. They are truly beautiful and they spin
forever! I have a HUGE bag of
Bison Roving and from Judith MacKenzie McCuin and Buffalo
Gals and a sample of Judith's new yarns - one called Homage to the
New World - 50/50 Bison and Alpaca and a lovely 2 ply Bison/Merino
in both natural and dyed colors! The
Bison Yarn from Buffalo Gals and Buffalo Gold is finally here and available online. And at long last we have
Qiviut from Windy Valley MuskOx. We have 100% Qiviut and
a fabulous Qiviut/Silk blend.
As far as personal
projects - i am knitting a Kathryn Alexander Designs vest and
learning about entrelac in the process and i am working on my sample
gamp for my weaving class with Judith in March.
Through the winter

hopefully our new 2008 CD catalog!) As you are wandering through the
