Report on Black Sheep Gathering

Yo,

The BSG was successful for Gail on many levels. She sold her Angora roving and other fibers well. She added her hand-dyed angora sock yarn to her offerings. We will be carrying more of her angora yarns soon. They are being spun now as we speak at the NEW Silver Falls Spinnery with Cheryl and Lurene up on Quall Rd here in Silverton. We are very proud of them for opening a spinnery. It is so organized, clean and amazing yarns are coming out the other end. 2 great guys from North Carolina who built the spinning machine are here helping them get it all set up. The quality of the yarn is very nice,even,good twist,and yummy................so there.
