My 1st Fibre Swap!

I know another Swap from December that i failed to blog about >>>

Its from Kathy R and she has done a perfect job - i was hoping for lots of fibre samples (being new to spinning and all)

She’s included: Merino silver, Alpaca/Silk/Merino blend, Border Leicester fleece, Corridale fleece, Hampshire down with Mohair, Lama fibre, Combed mohair, Angora fibre, English Leicester fleece, Recycled Sari Silk and some silk throwseters … man i’m going to have a ball!!!!

I’m loving the patterns for felted clogs and Animal friends felted booties (felting is still on the to learn list just been bumped) some sweeties, soap and lovely wee stichmarkers.

Thank you soooooo much Kathy its great! … and i have to say your stalking was very good ;)

now to try ant tear myself away from it and finish the dishes (postie came in the middle of them ;) )

But then i got a wee envelope in the mail with an extra in it that 'disappeared' when the box was sent ... it was an ashford WPI tool and some lovely Merino from 'Shrek'
And here's the parcel i sent:
