Well I haven't posted in an absurdly long time. I can't believe how quickly every has gone.
The rabbits are doing well. I have cut back on the breeding as the costs of feed and hay are just simply expensive. They are so sweet when they demand attention. I relax just by walking into their hutch.
I added some fibers from Peace of Yarn, baby suri, baby camel and and baby alpaca. They are so soft....you just want to roll in it....those who work with fiber understand what I am talking about.
I also found a source for pulled, carded sari silk. Hopefully I will have that in stock in the next month or so.
I've been wanting to try Gotland for a long time. I wanted a raw fleece to start with. I finally found one and am working on that now. It is all washed and I am in the process of flicking the ends. For any non-spinners reading this that means I am taking each lock of fiber and brushing each end. It opens the lock up and creates a fluffy end.
My main business is going well. Spinning pet fibers is keeping me very busy. I had to extend my turn around time as I do need some down time to spin for myself. I have been ramping up my equipment to help keep up with demand. I finally bought a Patrick Green SuperCarder electric drum carder. I really wish I had done this earlier. It is saving my shoulder from a lot of wear and tear. I am really pleased with it and the results it produces.
