Drove out to an alpaca farm today to pick up "a few" fleeces, but when I got there the seller insisted she just wanted all of it gone and gave me the lot.
It uhhhh looked like a lot less when it was spread out in her barn 😅
No idea how much there is, but there's at least 12 blankets (one is a baby fleece!) as well as some seconds and thirds.

This One Company Controls America’s Entire Health Care System

Why are so many doctors being forced to take out payday loans to make ends meet? Trying to answer this question led us to a giant monopoly that's been slowly plundering every part of our health care system.

Three Jacobs sheep fleeces!! The colors are so beautiful 😍
When I picked it up, the seller told me he would be shearing again this summer and offered me those fleeces as well (and I agreed because I got this for an incredibly fair price), so I'm gonna have to get processing and figure out what to do with it all before I am absolutely overrun with fleeces.

Spinning Peacock (Corriedale x nylon) and combining with black Jacob top = my very first wheel spun 2 ply! The Jacob has been the most enjoyable to spin with so far.

#improvised quilt, some #cotton from stash (Eiffel Towers #fabric #whatwereyouthinking 😂) but mostly #scraps from various #dressmaking projects. Backed with #fleece because that's what I do. #QAYG in 5 or 6 pieces then joined with #sashing at front and back. No idea about finished size but same as an older quilt big enough to go over two dog beds.

Cleaned some fleece in preparation for dyeing and spinning. This one is from a Gulf Coast Native sheep named Krinkle on one of the farms I visited (see my post from a few days ago with the sheep photos). This will eventually become a sweater (jumper) and a knitted vest (waistcoat).
Remember those sheep I showed you yesterday? I am now in possession of two of their fleeces, which will eventually become sweaters (with a lot of carding, dyeing, spinning, and knitting in between).

Ergänzung zu unseren bisherigen Infos über (nicht vorhandene 😉👻) #ChatGPT-Apps:
Jetzt gibt es tatsächlich eine offizielle App von #OpenAI (Vorsicht, viel Fake-, Scam- und #Fleece im Umlauf!).
Für Deutschland ist die aber noch nicht freigeschaltet. https://t.co/1boKb60MIq
We start #shearing this weekend. The #sheep are definitely looking like warm marshmallows right now! The rams will be glad to get their fleeces off soon. Hawk's fleece weighed 8 lbs. last time! Heron's fleece seems more #fluffy than Hawk's this year. #wool #fiber #fleece #Rams

This, ya gotta love. These don't even have a red seal, they're just uncirculated $2 bills, which are easy to find because everybody gets one and puts it in a drawer. And he's sold 26 like this, for $5!
Go to your local bank & when you take out money, ask for some 2$ bills - they're FREE, people! No, forget that, keep paying this guy in Jersey. He deserves the fleece. LOL

Go #green, at a cost?
#Patagonia’s CEO #RyanGellert: awkward to prize the planet & produce unnecessary consumer goods.
Is it better to waterproof products w/#palmoil instead of #toxicchemicals when palm oil plantations tend to compromise #TropicalForests?
Is it helpful to #recycle #plasticbottles into #fleece if these fibers are more likely to shed #microplastic particles that can end up #polluting the seas?
“I’m very clear-eyed that we still take more from the planet than we restore.”

My new project for the #embroidery club of our #heritagecentre - #stitching #moss and #lichen. I never made it before, it's an experiment for my #BiodiversityShrines.
I am collecting materials, checking them, getting ideas. The olive-green #fleece could be a good background. It's a scrap from an old shirt. There's silk #waste from machines. #upcycling #NatureArt

After 20 years in San Francisco, I'm still figuring out the weather here in Portland, OR. The cold is seeping in - just ordered a pair of fleece-lined yoga pants! Forecast says snow this coming week and I'm wondering if it will really happen? But lows in the 20's - brrrrr! #Portland #PDX #PortlandWeather #fleece

Are you the #flannel, #fleece, or #hoodie type? Or maybe you layer them all? Do #microplastics impact your choices?

Made myself a blanket bear hoodie using a free pattern from SewMuchAdo;
https://www.sewmuchado.com/diy-blanket-hoodie-pattern-free/
Additional stuffed little nub tail and foam shaped ears, and modified to hide the hoodie pouch pocket on the inside. It's not perfect, but it'll do for the coming winter as just a thing to wear around the house though.
