Even the chickens are excited about maple tapping season in northern New York!

Tapped the 3 ancient maple trees in front of the house a few days ago. So far I have about 1.5 gallons of sap on the first flow yesterday! Here's my farm page if you want to follow me on FB.

While I'm waiting on some cotton yarn to arrive for a commissioned order, I'm learning to weave wool rugs. Always learning, practice makes progress! #weaving #fiberarts #wool

These next 4 years will be a hard lesson on why we don't let our abusive ex's back into the house after we kick them out.

I FINALLY got around to taking photos and listening a few new items in my Etsy shop. Hand knit beanies, perfect for the cold weather! Handmade by a neuro-spicy disabled veteran.

The dye pot came out yesterday, so I made up these beautiful blue and green combed top Targhee and the two Cotswold skeins I spun up a few weeks ago. I love how saturated they came out! It'll be a fun spin.

Alpaca, Finnwool/alpaca/silk, and Targhee. Soooooo soft! #Spinning #Wool #Alpaca #Fiberarts #FiberArtist #Crafter

Happy Monday! I'm finishing up some fingerless mitts I handspun with Finnsheep wool, alpaca, and tussah silk. Undyed natural colors.

I'd love to see your wip's or fo's (or even those ufo's 😉)

Yesterday I spun up this lovely Shetland/English Angora blend yarn for a gifting project. Soooo soft and lofty! I think next I'll try it with some alpaca or silk next. The Shetland combed top came from Mohair and More on Etsy, the Angora is from my bunbun Clover.

Late night YouTube binging brought me to some lucet crafting videos. So OF COURSE I had to grab mine and some wool at 11pm.

This is handspun Jacob wool. I think I'll weave a squishy rug with it!
