Taking Stock

In spite of having a huge stash (see yarn sale post below), I still stocked up at Rhinebeck. There's something about wool that just makes one feel... safe and secure. Fleece in warm, rich browns make me feel warm and rich. Yarns in rich colors satisfy the artist designer and magpie in me. I met lots of great people too. As a sometime blogger, it was nice to finally put names to faces.

So now I sit and contemplate three lovely Shetland fleeces. Do I send them to Wooly Knob, the most hilarious men in the fleece business, or do I try a different mill? Or do I finally buy (or split with Laurie) a decent drum carder and do them myself? Nice questions to ponder.
