It's better than catnip.<BR/><BR/>LeaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-63930431763130752492007-02-06T17:24:00.000-05:002007-02-06T17:24:00.000-05:00What a wonderful friend you have, Leigh!

It's got more bounce to it than most other wools I spin for weaving, but I'll be my knitter-daughter will love it.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933105773412843275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-19760624815907762182007-02-06T16:55:00.000-05:002007-02-06T16:55:00.000-05:00The only Polwarth I've spun had a very short stapl...The only Polwarth I've spun had a very short staple and I did that before I knew about using long draw for short fibers. I spun it worsted and fought with it the whole way. I think I had about a pound of it. I ended up using it was weft for a lap robe. It's very soft and the color of your's is lovely - would overdye nicely.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06432035940956042729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26055463.post-50106390622673753882007-02-06T04:33:00.000-05:002007-02-06T04:33:00.000-05:00Wow!

So ...You have the most interesting fiber projects! So sad about the warp on your loom - that must have taken so long - I can't remember if I mentioned how much I liked the pictures of the dishtowels - what a fun project that must have been! <br /><br />I hope that you are not being hounded by all the cold weather that is happening east of the Mississippi. <br /><br />We have seen eagles in our neighbors yard - luckily they haven't been hungry for cat (or lamb)... The robins & a huge flock of blackbirds along with some starlings & another bird that I didn't recognize moved through here this past weekend. You should have heard it - robins singing, blackbirds calling and the song from this other bird was really pretty. Probably 100-150 birds in full voice - it was very cool - you could hardly hear yourself think :-) <br /><br />Keep safe & warm!
