Scarves and a pony

I'm trying to get my shop ready for Shearing Day on Saturday. I'll be spending my time in the barn, but my friend will staff the shop and I need everything organized, labeled, etc. Here are new scarves. 597-1 w

This one is rayon chenille with a supplementary warp using a ribbon called Luna.

597-2-w

Same basic warp, but a different supplementary warp.

589-w

Here is another "left-overs" warp. The blues.

591-w

Another left-overs warp. This one is deep purple, but I can't get that color on my screen. Maybe it will show up purple on your computer.

I carded some sample batts using the Ashford drum carder and the new Wild Carder. Lots of fun! I wish I had time to do more of this.

carded fiber2-w

The top two batts are using fiber that I dyed for a Color Wheel class. Those will be fun to spin. The white batt is from Jacob wool--it is thick and soft. I have a new packer brush on the drum carder and it really lets you pack in the wool.

Last, but not least, is a pony from the Wool Pet pony kit. I love the look on his face. I am also needle felting a donkey, but she is not finished yet.
