Jake had a free portrait done today at PetSmart. Good boy.
Welcome! I am a hand spinner and the whole process of spinning yarn from raw fleece to pretty yarn just fascinates me. I hope I can share on a tip or two about fiber. I'd like to share the scenery from around my home in beautiful New England and perhaps a recipe (and too many pictures of Jake and Marvin, our dogs). I hope you enjoy..................Emily

Travis and Jake
Poor Travis in his e-collar. We are hoping that he'll leave his foot alone and we can set him free at the end of the week.
Here's Jake; looks like he has a cigarillo.

Who says?
Who says that a cold water wash won't help wash raw fleece? This is some of the Jacob's fleece that I bought last weekend. In case you can't make it out, the fleece is in the mesh bag and that black water is what remained after I let the wool soak for about six hours in just plain cold tap water. The waste water has gone to the garden and the wool is getting its final rinse. This is the first time I have tried cold water and I'm pleased. (I did wash the wool in the usual hot water method after the cold water but it took at least one fewer soak in hot water and dish soap.)
Who says that Jake isn't cute? Jake is cute.

Anthropomorphism
Yep, I'm guilty. I always have been guilty. My pets absolutely have human emotions. For example, here's a pic of Jake. Jake is sad. Jake is crying (note the tears). We were getting ready for a ride to New Hampshire and he was so forlorn to see us leaving............
