Inspired by this beautiful scarf, I joined Funky Carolina's Scrappy Club. Each month Carrie sends a mix of handpainted fiber scraps totaling 4 ounces. Oh the joy of opening those packages. They are like bags of brightly colored Easter eggs - or maybe the mad love child of Easter eggs and cotton candy.
Upon receiving these packages (two packages came at once - 8 oz. of fluffy goodness), there is nothing for a spinner to do but get them on the wheel. Meals, laundry, spouse, children? They must wait for the fiber to have its moment.
After two evenings of spinning I find myself with 600+ yards of techicolor singles. Oh the bliss.
Now, if only they'd dry.
ooo it's like a big bowl of candy!
