It’s been busy, busy here for the past few weeks. Shearing was on May 3, and most of the fiber has been sorted by Pam Harwood from Longwoods Alpaca Farm (certified sorter). All the whites and fawns have been sorted – still have the dark browns to do.

Now the BIG news – I’m a weaver!!!!! I took weaving lessons from Deb Bergman at Purple Fleece in Stockton Springs, ME. I now have a loom (a Baby Wolf, aka Wolfie), and have completed (almost) my first project – a scarf. The fringe is not quite finished.

I’ll be getting a photo in my Photo Gallery as soon as it’s 100% completed. I’ve started planning the next project. The most time-consuming part of weaving is warping the loom, so I’ll warp for two scarves to save a little time. The Farmer’s Market has gone well so far this year – I even sold a rug last week. I’m playing hooky this week because of the threat of rain.
