Hand Spinning Fleeces Anyone?

    Okay, they are ready!  I have been enjoying several days of complete fiber nirvana.  Fondling, skirting, fluffing, primping 20 luscious Nash Island Hand Spinning Fleeces.  I had to push through several intense lustful moments.  I'm proud to say I resisted temptation.  I've had my moment, and now I'm ready to share.  After all how many Nash Island fleeces does one girl need? (Don't answer that.)
    E-mail me, we'll chat, I'll hook you up.  Join me in fiber nirvana.

Save Us From Fiber Lust!

Dear Local Handspinners,

We are suffering from a terrible affliction here at Starcroft Fiber Mill, and fear that only you can save us.

An epidemic of fiber lust has rendered all other work impossible at the Mill.

We are in the midst of preparing the hand-spinning Island fleeces for the Common Ground Fair and are overcome with the most powerful desire to do nothing but fondle such lovely fiber... nozzle it against our cheeks, maybe spin just a little, or just gaze at it lovingly, while the hours and days slip us by.

If there is to be any hope of recovery, every single Nash Island fleece will need to be removed from our possession at the Fleece Tent.

We're simply too weak to resist.

Shearing - 2010 Clip

Some beautiful weather afforded us a couple of lovely days out on the islands for shearing this year. These two little lambs looked on as their mom got a hair cut.

There were many fleeces selected for handspinning, which will be for sale at the Common Ground Country Fair in September.

At the end of a long morning, and a fantastic picnic lunch, it's time for the boat ride home.
