i got my last spindle and fiber





from the etsy shop of butterfly girl designs (three month fiber and spindle club)




i posted the first one here and i forgot to post the second. well i'm posting THAT as well as my third and last mailing.




i can't tell you how satisfied i am. all the spindles were BEAUTIFUL and well balanced. the fiber was lovely and easy to work with (except for yesterday when it was 102 out. yes in connecticut on june 9th. well it was 98, BUT the heat index was 102. SAME THING)




anyway, the second spindle was italian resin. unfortuantely i forgot the makeup of the fiber. it was mostly merino. i believe the rest was bamboo but i could be mistaken.




the third spindle is murano foil and the fiber (blackbird) is 60% merino, 30% bamboo and 10% nylon fire star.

look what i got today








from butterfly girl designs (or her etsy shop)

i joined her three month fiber club. a new fiber and a new spindle. once every month for three months. today was my first month

it's a purple (you can't really tell from the photos) flourite whorl on the spindle and the INCREDIBLY SOFT SOFT SOFT (unbelievably so) fiber is; 50% merino, 20 (non-cruise) suri alpaca, 20% bamboo, 10% silk (and less than 1% of angelina). the color is called rocky road and that hits it right on the mark.
