Description
This podcast continues the discussion of how to buy fibers for spinning and then store them. I first talk about what to look for when purchasing the non wool fibers, like alpaca, mohair and angora. The second part goes into how to store your fibers until you are ready to wash the fleece or spin them.
I have more photos of a recent fleece that I was prepping for storage on my blog.
I could not ignore the holiday though, and since it is Halloween, my yarnspinner tale is an original ghost story I tell just for this podcast. It is called The Haunting of Sara Jane.
A big thank you to Clare Dowling for her Spinning song used in the podcast intro. All music is from the podsafe music network now known as music alley. Musicians in today's podcast include:
New Band demos with Halloween
the delicate art of noise pollution with Spooky Funk
