Technically, wool refers only to sheep fiber. Have lots of wool in
all stages of processing (or not - have two jacob fleeces to work
up ), an alpaca fleece, and a little bit of silk and mohair...no llama
- harsher than I like for hand spinning. I promised myself I wouldn't
buy any more, but found myself yarn-less in MA last fall after using
up everything I had with me, and so when Mike W., Beth, & I happened
by a yarn store in Northampton, I couldn't pass by. Found a pattern &
some yarn for a vest for Hell which apparently necessitated Mike
calling calling Hell to ask his "bust" size with absolutely no
explanation and then essentially thanking him for his time and hanging
up. The ladies at the shop participating in the local knit night had
a good chuckle. :-D

Dude, you shouldn't kid about things like that. You should see the
rolling pin her mother gave her. Or the 15# copper sauce pan she
has. We won't even talk about the size of her torque wrench.

Yes dear, wherever you want to put your wool is fine with me. ;-/

Did I mention that I've learned to knit krappy wash clothes? At the
rate I knit, I ought to be able to use up one box of that wool by the
time I'm 109.

The spooky part is that I gave him a bust size. :-O
