Olav Cardi finished and worn to Yaquina Fiber Arts Spin In 2013

 February 2, 2013  Annual "Spin In" of the Yaquina Fiber Arts Guild.

  

Couldn't have been more fun! Way over 100 ladies and a few men from

all over Washington, Idaho and Oregon.Many, many wheels, all types,

 some of the new electric. 

I like to pedal with my feet. I just got my new cardi finished in time to

wear it. Sewed the last button on the night before, while grabbing

it off the Woolie Board slightly damp. It was pretty warm but I had

to wear it anyway.  I have my trusty double treadle Lendrum.

Aurora Colony Fiber Arts

A Fiber Arts Studio in Aurora Oregon

There were over 20 vendors selling mostly roving and wool of all colors.

This is such a fun place to take pictures with all the brilliance of hues.

A little 6 day old lamb named Elf came with his adopted mommy.

He still needs to eat every few hours and couldn't be left home.

He is a type of Southdown breed, Pelapay.

Assorted spinners

                  This great sheep farm was featured in the Last Spin Off
                  as one of the few American Farms to raise Wensleydale sheep.
                  The wool has a high luster, but the sheep are beyond beautiful.. see Spin Off....
