I love the super wash Merino for a number of different reasons. It takes the color brilliantly and helps give me all the bright vibrant colors that you don't typically get with Corriedale or other blends That is my go-to fiber especially because most people who are going to usemyfiberaregoingtospinitforthings like socks and other items that are probably going to be washed by whomever they're gifted to Some of my other favorite bases include Merino and silk blends because they add super fun variations with the parts that won't take dye Alsotheyspinupverynicely

I love that I have made so many amazing connections with people I love that I have an outlet to share my creativity with so many other people who are interested in the same things that I am I even love getting in conversations with people who are just learning how to do some of the things that I know how to do and I get to share my knowledge with them I love that WAFA is a communitywherewereallylovetohelpeachotherlearn andgrow.Ilovethesupportandlovethatweshareasa community. I love the fiber arts community in general because everyone in it has always been super kind to me.Itreallyseemslikepeoplearesokindandsupportive whereas in other industries there's a lot of backstabbing or backbiting and people are not willing to always share information for fear that it will ruin their business and the fiberartsreallyisn'tthatway
