I thought it would be good to tell a bit about myself for my first post. I’m a mom, a wife, a farmer, and love all things fibery. I started rescuing fiber animals almost 2 yrs ago. I was just rescuing them to give them forever homes and for my own fiber needs. At one point I realized (when I looked in the barn and counted 21 angora rabbits, 3 alpacas, and 4 cashmere goats). The animals needed to start pitching in for their keep. So I started “The Fiber of My Being.” I always knew it was in “the fiber of my being” to rescue animals.
Some of topics I would like to cover in this blog are animal care, fiber processing(washing, dyeing, combing, carding), spinning, knitting, crochet, and weaving techniques. Some of these things I have been doing for years others are fairly new to me and I am still in the learning process.

I couldn’t resist adding a cute baby bunny pic.
Looking forward to reading more about you and your fiber life! That little bunny photo at the end made me totally squeee. So cute.
