Rhinebeck fun
Oct. 22nd, 2023 01:52 pmIt's been a few years since I went to NY Sheep and Wool, I think 2018 maybe was the last time. For various reasons I haven't been back since then.
Earlier this week, I messaged![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
reedrover who takes her goats to the Northeast Angora Goat Show to show and figured I could meet up with her and chat for a bit. I've had great luck meeting internet friends and I figured this would be fun. A day or two before, she asked if I could help hold goats during the show as some of the folks' usual helpers hadn't been able to make it. Sure! Goats are fun! ( I ramble a lot )
Haul!
RR gave me a beautiful tan mohair fleece, it's so pretty!!!! I'm definitely going to comb it but I've been thinking through what to make with it. I think it would make great weaving yarn but I may also do some crocheting with it too. I've got some mohair I got in a destash that I could use it with too. I really should try tablet weaving with it too, omg the shine would be great on a plain band. hmmmmmm.
