In connection with "Grandma's Room", a teaching location here in town, I am helping with a Fiber Call Out for Montgomery County. Knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers, hookers, dyers of all levels (even wanna-be's!) are welcome to join us. We will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 11th at Grandma's Room in Crawfordsville, IN at 6:30pm. Hope to see you there!
Our demonstration for the evening is "Handling Wool". We'll be playing with wool--looking at characteristics such as fiber length and crimp--and making hand felted balls to take home. The wools in the photo, from right to left, are Cormo (pink), Shetland (copper), and unknown (dark brown). Guess which one hand felts the best? Yep! The unknown wool. I don't know it's breed. I can take some guesses. I can tell you what it's not... But it rolled into beautiful felted balls with almost no work! I can't wait to take it to the group on Tuesday!

Sounds like fun! It's always the unknown fiber that works perfectly, isn't it?
