wow.

kathrynt and I spent some time today at a huge fiber stash and equipment estate sale. To get an idea of the scope, the woman owned seven spinning wheels, I saw at least half a dozen "real" looms (some floor looms and table looms) and a similar number of frame looms (tapestry, triangle, etc.). Yarn and fleece stashes and library were of similar scale

Jaw, meet floor.

Holy shit! That's like a $350 deal!

Whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[saint_buddha]

Awesome. I think I paid $50 for my copy about a year and a half ago. So, out of curiousity, where was the sale at?

[emmacrew]

In Bremerton. It's going on tomorrow, too, if you want me to forward you the pdf about it.

[saint_buddha]

Nah. I have enough stuff. Plus, it's a major haul for me.

[emmacrew]

Yeah. Also, we saw some evidence of past moths in the yarn studio (a littl building apart from the main house) which is why I put back the cone of wool I'd been holding onto before we found the casings and mostly stuck to equipment sorts of stuff.

Wow, what an amazing find! I really need to start going to sales like that... :D

This was a particularly fiber-oriented one. Her stash put Kathryn's and mine together to shame, and we even got there after a lot of the really good stuff had already gone. I don't think I've seen anything quite like it.
