my favorite fiber dyer has just discontinued the base fiber that I liked so much :'(

they're switching entirely to merino or blends with nylon, which. fine I guess.

They just aren't my favorite to spin because they are much better suited to short draw and I only really do long draw. You can long draw them, but its much more difficult. 

now there's the decision of: do I buy the discontinued fibers that are left in their shop or do I stick to my resolution not to buy fiber until may? 

I did just spend a ton of money on seed orders......and I already have a ton of fiber.......

(is this what fomo is)

ugh

oh and last year's flax is still in the woodshed, aaron's moved it a couple times but insists it's really not in his way, and he's the one who heats with wood so if he says so it's probably fine.

Awesome!! Thanks for letting me know. I keep saying I'm going to do something but sitting around is easier to be honest. I'm less concerned about keeping it all separate. I suspect we'll end up with more this year although I'm planting a lot less. I think once I start planting things, I'll get my butt in gear. I also got the madder seeds, so next time I see you, I'll bring them!
