I am starting to see myself collecting a yarn stash that rivals my fabric stash, lol. I just found Paradise Fibers (http://paradisefibers.com/fiber/handpaints.asp). A lot of their prices are really reasonable, check out the page with the mill ends. These colors on the roving are wonderful too!

So what other online yarn shops do I need to check out?

My friends does some amazing work Bohemian Mama (http://www.bohemianmama.com/fibercrazed.html)
The ones that say sold are the ones that followed me home the other night lol

Oh yes! I just ordered from her last week! :happy:

I need to avoid these threads....

I just joined a yarnaholics blogring at craftster, and am planning to go on a yarn fast until at least half of my current yarn is gone.

of course, I didn't count the yarn that's coming from Theresa's sale since it hasn't arrived yet (but was ordered and paid for BEFORE I joined).

I did a yarn inventory and it's a little nuts. I have like 10 kilos of yarn.

But, most of it is soaker-appropriate and with so many friends having babies/being pregnant I'm hoping I'll plow thru a goodly amount of it that way.

Shelly, Thanks for the link...I think...as I just spent a bundle on spinning fiber and double point needles. I need to try socks soon...I've still got a couple lbs of angora wool from my own flock I need to card and spin up too...but I couldn't resist that lavender merino she had on sale. I could just see it as a lovely sweater on my daughter this winter. The visions ;pop:

Anyhow, this is my first venture into this forum...still new here.

Take Care,

Take Care,

Welcome aboard! How many angora goats do you have? Do you have any other fiber critters? I have 2 sheep, but they are hair sheep, so no wool, but they are fun pets.

No, no, not goats ...I have English Angora bunnies, urban sheep. I own four, but currently only have two at my home. My other two gals are down with a friend who is helping me sell them. My husband is afraid of goats. My MIL had a goat when dh was little and she used to make him go feed it. Guess he was really afraid of the goat, so I don't think we could ever have one. He's okay with the rabbits though.

Thanks for asking. That lavender Merino is in now, and I've finished my lilac angora roving and made it into 9,600 inches of yarn...still got to find my calculator so I can compute the yardage...I hate long division. Inches will due for now.

Take Care
