Okay so I was searching for something in my closet in the fiber room at home this week and never found it of course. But what I realized is that I have more fiber for spinning than I knew about. I decided that I am going to spin like crazy for the next week and see how much I can get done between now and the 1st of the year. I have already done about 7 oz since Thursday and have a luscious pale grey and white merino yarn, and lumpy bumpy novelty yarn with coils and sparkle in pinks. I dug the 1/2 lb bag of camel down out of the closet and will have about hundreds of yards of fingering weight camel yarn in a couple of days (that takes longer to spin than the lumpy bumpy). I got a spindle full of it last night though.
So then on the way to work I was thinking we spinners might have a little stashbuster contest. Who can spin the most yarn between now/today and Dec. 31st? So send me a picture or a list of your unspun fiber stash, and then spin as much as you can between now and then. Bring it in on Dec 31st (we close at 3 that day) and we'll record your accomplishment. At the end of the day I'll see who did the most (by weight) and they win a 4oz package of hand dyed roving. Sorry Lisa, you work here and aren't eligible to win this one....
