Woolie Creations Angora Rabbits

 

Well I am finally getting to post about my trip to the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair. I don't get out much so it was a BIG trip for me!

We drove up on Friday and stopped by the fair for awhile. I was absolutely amazed! It was my first time going to an event like that so I was like a kid in a candy store! I was in fiber heaven!! There were soooo many colors, fibers, garments, and so on, my head was spinning.

I quickly looked up some of my friends booths and said hi. Then I went exploring! I bounced from booth to booth touching and ohhhhh and awed. My wonderful hubby said I could get what I wanted so I got some wonderful rovings from Gail White of Ozark carding. I had a nice conversation with Gail while I was there and found out about Bamboo. She told me it makes wool softer and adds some strength to the fiber. I have done some felting with the rovings I got from her and I love it!


There were lots of other booths I stopped at and had to have a little of this and that. I got some wonderful colored mohair from Tina Evans of Dry Creek Naturals, and met Elaina Kenyan who I have known for years but never met. I also got to meet Terri Robertson. She was at Sally's booth just as I was leaving. Sorry I didn't get to chat more. There is always next year!


My next stop was to see Roo, Moonwood Farm, and Pam, Sweet home ALpaca, at their booth to deliver their new member of Pam's farm family. Pam got a beautiful SAtin Angora from me. ;) I brought bac some of the most beautiful Alpaca fiber from Pam! I carded some of it up already and made a scarf with it! WOW sooooo soft!

The second day of SAFF was just as exciting! My hubby bought me a Kromski Loom from My friend Linda Davis. After years and years of talking with Linda I finally got to meet her. It was a real pleasure as she is a very nice lady. I am looking forward to playing with my loom soon.

Then there is my buddy sally!!

She is one of a kind!! She had some beautiful stuff in her booth including BUNNIES!!!

She brought me a beautiful German Angora buck Dark Starz Mr. Bubbles, and a beautiful Chocolate German doe. I will post pictures of them tomorrow.

All in all I had a blast at SAFF! I can't wait till next year as I am already wishing I had gotten more goodies than I did! I have also come to the conclusion that fiber people are much friendlier, nicer bunch of people than Angora show people as a whole!
