One Crazy Fiber Lady

I promise, this is my last Rhinebeck related post.  Tomorrow we shall return to the regularly scheduled postings that actually involve using stuff rather than just acquiring it!  I do have a finished object to show, though it was spotted on the girl at Rhinebeck, but formalities must be met.

I present the fiber acquisitions in no particular order:

First, the fiber preparer.  A 12 gram Canarywood Featherweight from the Bosworths.

This is one ounce of bison roving.  It is soooo soft.  I seriously fondled the skeins of spun yarn they had and when I spotted this roving, I knew I had to have some.  The most expensive of my purchases at $25 an ounce.  I hear it wants to be spun very fine.  My kind of fiber!

4.5 ounces of the most delicious Icelandic Lamb / Bombyx Silk roving from Frelsi Farm.  I bought the Featherweight from the Bosworths after picking this up.  This is going to be laceweight for another of those wonderful shawls.

Two batts of LincolnX from Barneswallow Farms.  I’m planning on plying together one of each color for some Kat approved yarn.  Not sure of an end product, but that is nothing new for me. 

I picked up these two rovings from Cloverleaf Farms.  The green is 80/20 Wool/Silk in the Dragon colorway.  The other is 100% Wensleydale in the Autumn F06 colorway.  The wensleydale is destined to be sock yarn.  Your guess is as good as mine as to what the other will become.  Both are 4oz.

One pound of delicious cormo from Alice Fields as Foxhill Farm.  I love cormo.  I love cormo from Alice Fields even more.  Each trip to Maryland, against my better judgment and the no new fleece moratorium, has involved my buying a new cormo fleece from her.  She actually pulled this bag for Karen, who I went up with on Sunday.  Except Karen didn’t want it so I jumped!  Lucky me!!!!  Mine, mine, all mine.

Last, but certainly not least, the spoils of two trips into the tent of Little Barn. From left to right:

8oz of Natural Tussah Silk (was a show special)
1lb of Bleached Irish Linen (it was buy one, get one special – yeah, lost my mind)
1lb of BFL combed top in Black
4oz of 60/40 High Grade Cashmere / A-1 Mulberry Bombyx (had to have it!)
8oz Gotland roving
8oz 100′s merino roving

This brings us to the end of the feeding frenzy.  As Rachel H. so aptly put it, "You may have been confused by the lack of stroller on Sunday, but by the looks
of things it didn’t impair your shopping abilities one bit. Very Impressive."   Thanks Rachel!  Now to begin to use some of this stuff before Maryland!

Craft on!
