Peace Fleece
On our search for wool and felting materials we found Peace Fleece of Kezar Falls, Maine. http://www.peacefleece.com/knitting.htm My daughter is giving a class at ECCOTA on SSEP and Kyrgyzstan soon and has been on a search for raw, wonderfully dyed wool for this class. They are high school seniors earning money for a 3 week exchange of their 9 students for 9 Kyrgy students. My dd thought it would be a good fund raiser to have a class at the arts council on their culture and create a felted craft. Felt is one of the main art forms there http://www.onevillage.co.uk/Kyrgyzstan.htm .
Yesterday we received this wonderful box of wool, yarn, buttons and felting needles. The colors were absolutely gorgeous and the wooden buttons were made by a Russian woman. Lou could not sleep and decided to felt last night. She just could not handle staying away from these wonderful colors and textures. I will scan in her coin purse when she comes home. She put a Kyrgy symbol on meaning wealth.
I stole the dark orange wool yarn from her and started a bill folder to felt.
