I've been busy at my spinning wheel lately, making some new worsted weight yarn. These beautiful hanks are 100% merino. Undyed, the color is a milky off-white. The texture is slightly bumpy with the little irregularities that make handspun so attractive. I love this yarn, but I might put it on Etsy. I don't actually have an Etsy shop yet, but I have enough handspun to start one. I love spinning, and I love the touch and sight of my yarn, but there's no sense in collecting it for myself. I don't have the space to store it, and I don't have the time to knit it all. Perhaps I can make a tiny income doing something I love. I will let you all know when I open the Etsy shop!
In other news, I signed up for a milk delivery service today. I am going to be getting my milk from Mapleline Farm in Hadley, MA. My neighbor gets the delivery, so the milk man can make two deliveries in one stop. The milk comes in glass bottles that are reused by the dairy, and many of the items for delivery are local. I say "items" because it's not just a milk delivery. This service delivers orange juice, butter, eggs, bacon, yogurt, frozen organic pizza, ice cream and a whole lot more. It's good food combined with supporting local businesses and being green. I am so excited!
