Fiber Arts Friday: Fiber

I wrote earlier this week about how writing helps me to feel grounded.  My other main go to when I need grounding is fiber.

I have lots of fiber-y pursuits.  Often several are in progress at the same time.

At the moment I have a hand-spun Tibetan Mastiff scarf on the needles,

yak on the wheel,

and a bag of washed Tibetan Mastiff ready to be carded.

I also have yak/merino and alpaca patiently waiting on needles.  Sock yarn on a crochet hook, cotton on a bobbin and cashmere on a spindle.  Not to mention a large stash of raw alpaca that is ready to be skirted.

Working with the animals and their fiber goes a long way toward keeping me focused on the things that matter most.
