Invitation to Torrance for SCHG Nov.1st.

In the mail the other day I received and invitation to the SCHG annual Christmas sale in Torrance.
I am planning on going and also plan to bring more of my handspun in larger amounts for projects for Christmas gifts, since a homemade Christmas seems to mean more these days. So if you are looking for a special type of yarn or color, please let me know so I will come prepared with possibilities for you. I will also have reasonably priced handspun jewelry for gifts if you haven't time to make them.

For those spinners out there, I will also have batts of Alpaca fiber combed and ready to spin. I will be demonstrating spinning this very special but inexpensive fiber that will make your knitted or crocheted items softer than wool, easier for some people to wear, who are sensitive to wool, such as myself. This I have received from a local Alpaca Rancher. She raises Huaycaya and I have three color options with rich black, a few shades of white, and several shades of brown available in large quantities. So if Alpaca is what you are looking for to add to your spinning stasch, I may just have what you are looking for. Since I have a large amount of the white I may also bring handdyed colors because I have learned to dye this summmer and it is such fun. There will also be blends available.

If any of these finds tickle your fancy, please join me in Torrance at the annual Christmas Craft Fair, November 1, 2009 at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center, Torrance, CA.

This has been a busy summer so I am looking forward to working on spinning for a break as soon as school starts. It seems crazy to me that things slow down during school. Hope you are staying cool in this heatwave. Happy weaving, spinning, knitting and crocheting!!!
