Public exposure therapy epiphany! Spinning in public! The most relaxing thing, a thing that will get interest, I will be forced to talk to people, while doing a thing that makes me chill! I haven't spun in forever, I'm so exited :). Anyone here sell wool? @peeppeepcircus any pointers to a hookup? A hashtag to troll? If not, I can take it to Etsy.

@kismatt @peeppeepcircus Actually, I just remembered a local store that sold roving, if they're still open. Can't remember what it's called, found it on an errand when I was broke a couple of years ago. I'd still like to support someone here though, as a first priority if there is such a person.

@tippitiwichet @peeppeepcircus If you have a local yarn shop, stop in there and ask them. If anyone, they would know! Or check Ravelry for local fiber sources, etc. :)

@peeppeepcircus @tippitiwichet I also have raw fleece and small amounts of hand-dyed roving (could put together a grab bag) available. @LlamaMountainStudioArts @redenigma

@tippitiwichet @SandHillThicket @peeppeepcircus @LlamaMountainStudioArts $10/pound if you want washed & picked, or postage if you just want a couple handfuls of unprocessed at all fleece

@redenigma @SandHillThicket @peeppeepcircus @LlamaMountainStudioArts Yup, I once spun 5lb raw wool that I dyed in colors I saw in the sky at twilight, and made it into a circular blanket that was thick and worsted, perfect for a yoga mat. I called it my flying carpet because when I meditated, I was sitting on the night sky. It was lost by the ex who wouldn't go back to get my stuff this once, even though I begged him. Seems a nice project for celebrating divorce.

@redenigma @SandHillThicket @peeppeepcircus @LlamaMountainStudioArts Oh, I thought I already stated what I wanted and you were a little concerned that I didn't understand. I want 5 lb of black or a grey suitable for tinting blue or purple. Maybe a small amount of white to heather in for the stars.

@redenigma Okay, yes I will have enough for 5 lb of dark colored wool :). Shipping will be to Tulsa, DM me payment info pls.

@tippitiwichet some of the black has sunburned tips, want me to avoid those?

@redenigma If you can easily, but I won't be too picky about it.

@tippitiwichet I only have a 3 ounce bag right now! 😆 Mix of hand-combed roving and locks, hand-dyed with commercial and natural dyes. $14 + shipping. 💯%

@peeppeepcircus @LlamaMountainStudioArts @redenigma

@SandHillThicket @peeppeepcircus @LlamaMountainStudioArts @redenigma Cool, I think I can manage to get enough funds for that and what I want from @redenigma , still waiting on my ex to figure out how much he can give me.

@tippitiwichet @peeppeepcircus
I haven't spun wool in a while. Check for wool or fiber festivals nearby. It a good place to meet people and find fiber resources. And of course Etsy and Ravelry.

@redenigma @peeppeepcircus I knew I'd seen sheep among my friends! Those seem to be the same pretty sheep I've drooled over before, it is such a lovely range of color 😍 . When will they be sheared? Hit me up when they are!

@tippitiwichet @peeppeepcircus late October i hope, but i have a couple hundred pounds of unprocessed fleeces in the barn
