The Winter Class Schedule is ready (yay!). You can take a look at it at http://www.thefiberstudio.com/classes.html. There are a couple of classes still to be posted, I should have them ready next week. And I'll also have the photos on the website within the next couple days.
And while I'm posting, here's a last minute reminder that the Spinning Group meets today, 12-4.

New Items, Spinning Group
Hi everybody,
Here are some of new things in the shop:
Another shipment of Gale's Art has come in...her semi-solid BFL and 70 Alpaca/30 Silk (yum).
Hand Painted Firestar, a bunch of it in lots of colors, perfect for putting sparkle into your fibers.
Lots of Hand Dyed and Carded Romney, Corriedale, Border Leicester locks and more by Celeste. Also her Handspun singles from that started out as fleeces grown by happy sheep, all from Minnesota and Wisconsin...can't get any more local than that.
Pulled Silk Threads from Frabjous Fibers (great for carding into your batts and such).
Sari Ribbons from Frabjous Fibers, really nice colors.
And...new Crazy Batts carded by moi.
And don't forget...we'll be doing the Spinning Group at the shop on Sunday, January 17th, from 12-4, hope you can make it. February dates will be the 7th and the 21st, be sure to mark your calendars!

A NEW RAVELRY GROUP, SURI ALPACA, CHINA SILK and MORE
I'm very excited...there's a new group on RAVELRY for friends of The Fiber Studio! I hope you'll join! In case you don't know how to find it, go to http://www.ravelry.com/, click on Groups, then do a search for The Fiber Studio. And if you're not a member of Ravelry yet, now would be a good time to jump in, you won't believe what a fantastic community it is! Thank you so much, Michelle, I can't wait to see how the group evolves! My name on Ravelry is fibrgrl, let's be friends!
I have some wonderful SURI ALPACA in the shop, unwashed (it's easier to spin it before you wash it), all of it Prime...in white, black and chestnut (sort of auburn, don't remember what color it's called). The white takes dyes beautifully, if you're into dyeing.
Do you know that we sell undyed HABOTAI SILK (also known as China Silk) by the yard? It's a perfect silk for Nuno Felting, very light and airy.
And, just in today:
A new shipment of ANGELINA FIBERS, more GREAT BOOKS (perfect for your gift giving), and Pro-Chem came in, all the SABRASET DYES are restocked, along with Synthrapol and Citric Acid Crystals.
I think I've told you about the hand carded CRAZY BATTS I'm doing since attending Camp Pluckyfluff with Lexi Boeger...well, they sell just about as fast as I can get them off the drum carder. It's "crazy." And do you know that The Fiber Studio is selling HANDSPUN YARNS from hand carded Crazy Batts? So far we've got Handspun from 3 spinners, all of whom were at Camp Pluckyfluff!
More news soon...keep up the Fiber Mischief!

CRAZY BATTS, ART YARNS, NEW ORDERS
I am loving my new LOUET DRUM CARDER and have been carding Crazy Batts whenever I can...it's always exciting to see what the Batt looks like when you pull it off the drum! You can spin them into fabulously interesting yarns, you can use them in wet felting and needle felting projects. I've been spinning some Batts into Art Yarns, and my friend Zoe brought some of her Art Yarns in on consignment, check them out next time you stop by. I hope to get some of my Batts into my Etsy store soon.
I bought some Hand Dyed Carded Wool from my friend Celeste...Romney, CVM, Corriedale, Shetland, it's a riot of beautiful colors, all of it locally grown in Minnesota and Wisconsin!
A new shipment of GALE'S ART arrived yesterday: Fresh BFL in Semi-Solids (some new colors, too), Hand Painted Black BFL and her lovely Hand Painted Alpaca/Silk blends.
An order of Hand Painted Bamboo from THE FIBER LADY should be in today, too.
The Winter issue of WILD FIBERS magazine has just come in. Haven't had time to look at it yet, but as usual, the cover photo is amazing!
And, last but not least, our SPINNING GROUP meets again on Sunday, December 6, from 12-4, and we hope to see you!
That will do it for today...until next time, I hope you find yourself deep in Fiber Mischief!

Some Corny Stuff, Gale's Art, Hand Painted BFL
Disclaimer: there's some corny drivel coming up...
It was Saturday (ya know)...and Lawrence Welk was on! I got to watch the whole show with my Uncle Lyle...woo hoo! It was a Thanksgiving show from 1973! OMG, talk about COR-NY! The (scary) hair, clothes, uber-sweetness, "Bobby and Sissy." I was surprised at how much Lyle knows about all of the characters..."those two were married but then they got a divorce and he married someone else," Lyle knew about every single person on the show.
After Lawrence Welk, we were watching Antiques Roadshow and I started feeling kind of sleepy (no matter how hard I tried, I nodded off a couple times). Then, I realized Lyle hadn't said anything for a little while. I looked over at him and he was asleep...I thought, well he'll never know if I just close my eyes for a few minutes...nothing like a little Lawrence Welk to put you in the mood for a nap.
For those of you who have been waiting for more Gale's Art, it will be shipping from Atlanta today and I hope to have it by Saturday. I talked to Gale yesterday, part of the Firestar on order will come in with this shipment and the rest will come in a couple weeks or so. The Hand Painted Semi-Solid BFL and the Hand Painted Alpaca/Silk fibers will be in this shipment, for those of you who have been waiting for it.
More of the Hand Painted Bamboo is coming too, I hope (fingers crossed) it'll come in Friday.
In case I don't post again before Thursday, I want to wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
