Maryland Sheep and Wool 2009

Mia and I trying on some wonderful felted hats. Mia thought they were pretty cool and is considering trying this out.
One of several pairs of Balls I fondled ;-)

Mia, too cute

This guy really liked me. He kept saying take me home!

So the important stuff. What yummies did I bring home! Well since I have three Llama and one Alpaca fleece coming I tried to stick with fibers other than wool. So I picked up this silk. I thought I would find a yummy color to dye it.

Ok I know it's wool but look at the pretty colors!!!!

And the price!

Now...this picture will do this roving NO justice. You have to fondle this to appreciate it. This is 100% organic cotton. And it feels like baby alpaca. It is so soft you just want to us it as a pillow! So. We are gonna try and spin cotton :-)

Most important on my list was bobbins for my wheel. I got these first because I knew the money would be gone if I didn't.

Awwwww

Awwwwwwwwwwww

The day was also VERY much about your hat choice. Brynn sporting a great plaid.

Ashley in the very spring like and effective sun blocker, Heather and I sporting the straw Howboy Cat!

A little music to spend your money too!

These guys were actually REALLY good!

Dianna sporting the brace. At least the cast is off!

Ashley buying Pary in a Bag. This was fun. It was literally a basket with all kinds of odds and ends mixed together. Should be fun to spin up.

One of several pavillons full of vendors.
