  So . . . I made some more colorful yarn. This time I wanted the yarn to be super soft so it is made of fine merino wool, silk, alpaca, rose fiber, and bamboo.  Sometimes Alpaca and bamboo and Rose fiber are not super soft but this particular fiber is SUPER soft. Though I haven’t…

• Put together a Valentines confection at Alpacas at Marquam Hill Ranch yesterday.

    I laid out a pretty bouquet scarf as a demonstration at Alpacas at Marquam Hill Ranch today. I was hoping to sell a few scarves but that didn’t happen.  I did sell one small scarf though and generated some interest in the felting class we will be holding there next month.
