In which the Spinning Guy belatedly speaks of a wonderful package he received.

Back in January – or was it February – when we were in the process of moving from Oregon and I was already working in Huntsville, Mette from Ranch of the Oaks drove up from California and collected four alpacas (sob) and most of my alpaca fiber. Some of this fiber has been processed. The first two boxes of processed fiber arrived at our apartment a couple weeks ago.

My stash has grown!

Well, not really. It was always my fiber, I just didn’t have access to it, I didn’t have to move it, and I didn’t have to find a place to store it.

Part of my stash has been transformed!

Mette made some very nice rovings for me – and blended certain fleeces at my request for some very nice color blends. In addition, she sent some yarn. It looks good. It looks like Mette has done an excellent job. The proof, of course, will be when I actually start working with that fiber. With so many projects in progress, that might be a while. I’m looking forward to playing with the fiber Mette processed for me. I drool over it every day. Unfortunately, I haven’t touched it.

Wait. Correction. I have touched the fiber. It’s soft and it feels good. I haven’t started playing working with it.

My spinning wheel is calling me. Must finish the socks.
