These are just a few things I picked up. The wooden object is the lucet. It makes a very square braid which is lovely to look at and very easy to do. I hope to get good enough to use some of the silks I bought to make some braid to use for some of the projects I make. The threads are all silk...I was trying to step up my embrodiery and see what size etc I liked. The fabric are patches of silk velvet that I want to practice emabrodiery on...The buttons are recycled off of thrifted items...well I just can't pass up recycled stuff. I also bought stuff for secret pals and friends....but won't post those so there!
This lovely ball of color is some wonderful merino wool I bought at the guild. They had Wingham Wools come down from Yorkshire and sell their lovely stuff at our guild meeting. The day is open to all, and I need to make sure I invite a few people next year. I will be felting most of this. Either into objects...or into flat felt so that I can make stuff out of it. I'm actually itching to do it tonight...but not sure I shouldn't finish a few projects first. I've got a few things promised and must fullfill my promises!

Ow wow, you bought so much :D Do post pictures of your works in progress and what you do with these lovely goodies!
== your secret pal ==
WOW! What a great haul!! Those beads are great, love the oval ones. I'll be interested in seeing the lucet in action. Those wools will be gorgeous after you spin them too (they are already, but you know what I mean).
That should keep you busy for a bit huh? hehe
Bestill my heart! What a treasure trove!
Wow, what an amazing haul! I can't wait to see what you're going to do with all these goodies! And I *so* love the beads, they look stunning, especially the oval ones!
I attended one meeting of my local Spinning and Weaving Guild, but it just wasn't for me. I hoped for something participatory, people doing things with/to fibre, but they organise lectures more than anything else. Oh, well. Have fun with all that wool!
