Oooh. Don't do that, you'll make an awful mess! Just get cracking as we say in my part of the world. I'm playing with my loom today. Lost my floating selvedge warp and didn't notice at first, so I have an inch of floating warp on one eedge. Not to worry, it was never meant to be a work of art and it's another lesson learned!

So many lessons learnt and all the hard way, and hopefully never to be repeated!!!
I'm off to a lama farm in the Scottish Borders tomorrow and all that goes with it, should be a fun day out - and I may return with more goodies :-)

Ha ha ha, it's not llama, it's alpaca, I think my spinning and weaving career could be helped tremendously if I at least understood the fleeces a bit better. www.thebordermill.co.uk/

The sight of an alpaca always makes me smile! I'd be grinning from ear to ear all day, they have such cute faces. I'm grinning now and I haven't seen a single alpaca, but, my husband said "why don't you order a drum carder". After I'd picked my self up from the floor, I was straight onto the internet before he had a change of heart. Order confirmation received and I get £15 worth of fibre included, so I've requested cashmere as it seems more of a treat. Isn't it good to be able to share the excitement with those who understand.

Judith now all you have to do is wait, the hardest part. Cashmere is so lovely and soft.

You'll love the cashmere and carder! Congratulations! You must have been talking about drum carders in your sleep for a while now. Glad he got the message.
