This is my rabbit

She is a French Angora from Somerhill Farm. I plucked her this week, and now that Barry (aka. The Man Who Can do ANYTHING) has made it easy for me to put pictures in my entries I’m going to show whoever looks at this site (anyone?) a full fluff bunny, defluffed, and a pile of fluff that I will magically turn into yarn. That is one thing I CAN do. Barry does everything else.

A Wool Gathering

A year ago I walked through the tents on the grounds of Young’s Dairy longing for a spinning wheel so that I could do the magic of turning fluff into yarn. Well, I couldn’t afford a spinning wheel, but when I got home I figured out how to make a drop spindle out of a wooden car wheel and a dowell, got some wool off of ebay and went to town. Two rabbits, a monthly fiber group get-together, and many skeins of yarn later, I’m a happy spinner who had a booth in a tent at the Wool Gathering on the grounds of Young’s Dairy and sold every single spindle I made to sell!! I put Logan in the “pod” under the table while he slept and helped other people learn how to spin. It was a great time and I’m excited that it went so well. Barry did so much to help me. I wish everyone in the world could have a husband like him and feel so loved–he puts his all into something if he knows it means a lot to me. Thank you Barry…
