Home again and busily trying to catch up on farm work after a week at Olds Agricultural College in Alberta.
I attended the annual Fibre Week, taking a 2 day class in making felt boots and a four day Alpaca fibre sorter/grader/classer program.
The fibre program has a two year apprenticeship during which time I need to sort and grade 250 alpaca fleeces. Needless to say I will be looking for farms that need help with this step.
My boots are quite funky and just require the addition of soles to be ready for this winter.
Being surrounded by 400 plus fibre artists for a whole week certainly was inspiring and I have returned with many new ideas.
