365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Done And Dusted
Day 146: The Coopworth is done and dusted, and the amount of wool I was able to spin in the last three days using the "off the fold" technique was roughly equivalent to what previously would have taken me a week or more. Not only was it faster, I was able to spin more evenly. These last two skeins are significantly smoother than the first six. I decided to celebrate by purchasing some dyed and blended wool as a treat, investing a whole whopping $24 from my limited "entertainment" budget. And as sure as death and taxes, I was punished for splurging on myself when I discovered that one of my ductless mini-pumps had died in the night. It always happens that way. Any time I give way to temptation, something large and bad-tempered comes up from behind and bites me. Maybe if I treadle faster, I can stay warm until the repairman arrives tomorrow.
