This Week in the Fiber Room


Dyeing Prudence's locks

Washing fleeces - this one is Blackberry's ram lamb

Carding and pulling Blackberry's lovely wool

Carding... sampling... note taking

More sampling... more note taking

Spinning some of Boy George's Heather Lavender batts


















For those of you commenting on all the bright colors in one of the previous 'In the Fiber Room' posts, we thought you might be interested in this series by Jared Flood of Brooklyn Tweed fame.  He is giving us a peek behind the scenes in the creation of his fabulous new yarn Shelter.  He begins with some wonderful pictures and explanations of color blending at a mill scale.  It is a great story, and we love, love, love what he is doing for the wool industry.
