stash report March 6, 2022

 There is no change in fabric count this week. I  started cutting yellow scraps for my ongoing rainbow scrap challenge.

L-R: go fish, stash buster, easy breezy


Stash report  March 6, 2022

fabric added: 0 yards  

fabric added year to date: 3.75 yards

fabric used: 0 yards

fabric used year to date: 70 yards

66.25 yards used more than bought. 

I sewed 6 days last week.

I have started spinning one Sunday a month. The idea was to decide if it was time to let this hobby go, including all the stuff that goes with it. I have a better chance of that happening, if, I don't start spinning. Because, now, I like it again.... a lot.

Last year, I took my bags of carded wool and started combining them into colors I might like together. This is one of them. It is mostly merino wool.


There was only 8 ounces. 


I couldn't wait to spin it all to see how it would look. I made a small skein for fun. I still have a bit more to do.

it looks a little washed out here

wool blending

 Besides quilting, I am also a spinner. I am cleaning out the fiber closet, in an effort to greatly reduce. I forgot how much fun blending wool batts can be. I new I would never use any of these colors by themselves, but should I just get rid of it?  I thought I would try a combo, thinking in my head of Strawberry lemonade. I started with bright yellow, electric pink, and white.


I added white to yellow and to pink - love it


 I blended yellow and pink together - love it


And a little of all three.


It will make a great fade from color to color


Now, of course, I want to keep it all.
But if anyone wants raw sheep fleece, that needs to go.
