It is fiber festival time in New Mexico. I attended the "Heart Of New Mexico Fiber Gathering" this weekend. It was lovely. There were fantastic fiber artists showing lovely fibers, yarns, woven items and felted items. Really beautiful stuff there.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of August I attend <a href="http://www.artthroughtheloom.com/" target="_blank">Art Through The Loom's</a> Rag Rug Festival in Santa Fe. Once again beautiful rag rugs, yarns, woven rugs, knitted items, eco-printed items and so much more. I found the rag rugs made from ties to be super cool and very creative.<br />

Here is one of them that I spun using a core allowing the locks to hang freely.. tailspun.. I am happy with the results.. it has felted beads included.. I added these .. they were not part of the scrap box. It was a lot of fun to spin this yarn.<br />

This is a skein that I spun a little over a month ago. It is BFL and silk and it was wonderful to spin. I liked the addition of the silk to the BFL.. it gives it a little bit more strength and luster. It is from a braid from Quillin Fiber Arts.<br />

I have found that using good fiber that has not been felted at all makes a big difference in spinning the slub yarn part of the coil. Here is a photo of one of the skeins.. Will try to post more photos of the other skeins later. This is a fun yarn to spin but it can be frustrating. If you do not have enough twist in your slub yarn when you ply it or coil it.. it will tend to come apart. I find I need to be extra careful about letting the twist from plying travel to my slub yarns. <br />

I used the Redding Method to dye these. This is not the best photo since I could get the light correct.. but the BFL took the dye really well. The Cormo was ok but not as vibrant. This is what I would expect...in the dyepot it was a real dye hog. The Wensleydale was ok.. this fleece I bought washed and it is every so slightly felted and I am thinking it is not a good dye candidate. It is a pretty white fleece anyway so I guess that is ok. <br />
