Machine Knitting and everything else...
Yes, it is more alpaca. Remember the chocolate brown alpaca I washed recently? Well, I made a few batts with it. The batts are so soft. I blended the brown alpaca with pink merino, white alpaca, and some Angelina. I cannot wait to spin these batts!
I have opened an Etsy shop with my identical twin sister. We have been wanting to work on something together and thought it would be fun to open an Etsy shop together!! I will have special items in the Etsy shop that will not be in the Herman Hills Knittery online shop. I have been working on a few new knit items too so keep an eye on my shop and the new Etsy!! This shop is also part of the Fiber Indie eXperience (FIX) and purchases made here will enter you in the FIX drawings!
The photo above is an example of a few items that are in the Spin to Yarn Etsy shop. As you may know, my sister’s shop Spin to Yarn (her main site, not the Etsy one) has many Schacht and Louet products in it (with more Schacht items to be listed soon including the new Sidekick wheel-more on that in a later post!). She will be listing a few Louet items on Etsy, but all the Schacht items will only be available through the main Spin to Yarn website.
I have been washing up some AWESOME alpaca fleece. I have been spinning it as soon as it is dry! Yes, it is that awesome. I have set aside a little bit for the shop, so check it out! It is so soft it just about spins itself! I really love the color. It is a nice light chocolate brown. I am blending some batts and will post a few after I get them spun up!
