I'm about to head out the door for day two of classes and browsing the booths but I wanted to show you the lovely stuff I picked up yesterday.
In the foreground there are four spools of 8/2 cotton destined to become tea towels. On top of that is a handmade WPI tool (used for measuring wraps per inch for spinning, estimating proper setts for weaving, and for demystifying odd balls of unlabeled yarns in a knitters stash). To the right of those is a mini niddy noddy (for making small sample skeins). Above the niddy noddy is an 11 ounce cone of white 10/2 tencel I intend to knit lace with. To it's left is a bag of "Black Allsorts" roving that will eventually be spun up and used as accent in a cardigan. The large lot of browns-black-blue at the top of the photo is 1000 gms of "Hazelnut" roving I intend on spinning up for a sweater for my husband.

ooooh i wanted some of that Allsorts... sigh. so fun! but i couldn't quite justify taking roving home at this point in things (i mean, i don't even have a spindle... coulda felted it into something, i guess)... maybe next year. ;)
congrats on your winning socks. :)
So lovely! I wish I could have come but the timing was just impossible for me.
Next year, for sure.
I look forward to seeing what you make out of that delicious roving.
definitely droolable stuff. and i don't get to go to ANY fiber festivals, american or not, sigh. they're all too far away!
Good work! I love the rovings from Aurelia - they are so easy, and lovely to spin.
Thanks Marlene for your lovely comment on my blog.
Nice to see the world is a small community after all.
Have fun on your textile adventures, those allsorts look absolutely edible.
