Begining to think about shearing

I hope everyone out there is starting to think about shearing those fiber animals.  I am getting all my shearing gear clean, sharp, oiled, and ready to go for another great season.  I will be meeting new people this year since I have not sheared in Arizona before. I will also be seeing some old clients shearing away the days. However my kick off Job will be back up in Spokane shearing 50+ goats.  So EXCITING!

These past couple weeks I have been spinning bundles of yarn trying to cut down on my closet full of fleece.  The pile of fleece dwindles very slowly I have found.  I don't know if it is that I spin really slow or the fiber keeps expanding as I pull it out of the storage totes and fluff it up.  I have been creating some fun skeins by plying my hand spun with some cones of yarn I have aquired over the years and has just been sitting waiting for me to use it.  Now I hope the new yarn will get put to good use.
