I'm so glad you got a little break from the hustle and bustle. Of all the animals, those yaks stole my heart.

Oh Andrea, what fun! I spent the weekend volunteering at a fiber festival--your video had so much of the feel that that had, but with your lovely characteristic exuberance. I'm so glad you had the opportunity to relax a bit and have some fun. Have the best time playing with your new fibers! (Also, those Babydolls looked just like Muppets.)

Thank you SO much for your kindness! Volunteering at a festival sounds like it would be a blast. I definitely have a weakness for things that look muppet-ey 😂❤

How fun to visit some farms, seeing some animals definitely would put me in a great place. Loved all your purchases but especially liked the Twilight Rolags, the colors reminded me of the Southwest. Looking forward to seeing how you ended the semester. 😊👍👍👍

You look so well. What a happy day. I have been trying to get around to some different fiber festivals in Washington. Next month maybe Montana. We don't have all the fiber animals that those farms had. That would be so amazing.

Petting sheep - a tried and tested way to relieve stress. Loved living this barncrawl vicariously through you!

It was the exact stress relief that I desperately needed 😅 Thank you for watching!

Thanks for bringing us along! The yaks are amazing. Fun fact: the different colors on a Jacob sheep can be different microns. (On the same sheep in case that wasn't clear) currently spinning Jacob and I have started knitting a shawl with a yak silk blend yarn I purchased.

@AndreaAlexander Жыл бұрын

Oooh, I didn't know that! Does that affect the fiber prep/spinning process at all? I would love to get a Jacob fleece someday. I just looooove how the yarn turns out!

I think you like neon green.

@angelapadman162 Жыл бұрын

Have you heard of wolf spinning? It is spinning raw fleece. With all the artful bumps and lumps. It will work for your style of creating and philosophy.

@AndreaAlexander Жыл бұрын

Ooooh, I haven't heard of that, but I'd love to learn more!

I’d love to hear how you do with the fleece! I’ve got my first ever (properly skirted) fleece en route to me in the mail. I’m nervous and excited to try something new! It’s just shy of 5lbs so 🤞 I don’t mess things up too badly

Oh my gosh that sounds like such a fun undertaking, good luck to you! I am jealous!! 🥹💕
